Model Centric Design and Development for Spring

Published by Christian Dupuis 1 year, 9 months ago 2 Comments

Skyway SoftwareSpringSource will be hosting a webinar on May 28, 2008 12pm EDT (9am PDT, 5pm GMT) on how to develop Spring-based applications using Skyway Builder.

This session will describe the integration of Skyway Software and SpringSource and how developers can use Skyway Builder to modify/customize existing Spring applications quickly and accurately. After a brief architectural review of Skyway?s and Spring?s tools, attendees will learn how to access Spring apps in Skyway Builder (using Eclipse), apply Skyway facets/natures, and autowire for Spring to redeploy the app to the same (or new) infrastructure. #

Skyway Builder is a very interesting product with its model centric design and development approach. And it fits nicely into the landscape of development tools for Spring, including Spring IDE and STS, as you will be able to see in the webinar.

You can register for this free webinar at the SpringSource website.

SpringOne coming up

SpringOne Registration This year’s SpringOne in Antwerp is coming along very soon! It is only three weeks to go.

I will be giving a talk titled Enterprise Development Tools for Spring (abstract will be fixed soon abstract is now correct) in which I’ll introduce the different Spring-related development tools that SpringSource offers.

Furthermore I will explain where we draw the line between our open-source Spring IDE , the SpringSource Application Platform Tools and the SpringSource Tool Suite; I will outline what differentiates each product and how they work seamlessly together with Eclipse Mylyn and other Eclipse-based tools to offer the best Spring development environment.

Hope to see you in Antwerp.

Spring IDE 2.0.5 released

Published by Christian Dupuis 1 year, 9 months ago in Journal. 19 Comments

Today we released a new bug fix and enhancement release of Spring IDE. This release basically comes with a bunch of improvements and new features that are not user visible.

Nevertheless we have some new features to try out:

Support for Spring Security 2

Editing <*>elements in XML now gives the usual content assist and navigation support. Furthermore method-level security configurations based on the new element are feed into Spring IDE’s AOP visualization tools so that you can get UI feedback where your security constraints apply.

Basic Support for @Autowired

Based on Jared Rodriguez’ contribution Spring IDE now detects bean dependencies based on the @Autowired and @Resource annotations. I would like to encourage everyone to try out this new feature while it is in incubation and help to improve it. Join the discussion at IDE-148 and leave your comment.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Jared for his contribution and to welcome him as a committer on the project.

The 2.0.5 is available for download immediately from Eclipse update site. And yeah, Spring IDE will work on Eclipse 3.4 if you get it installed. Let me know how that works for you.
