Spring IDE Blog

This might not be big news as we just announced GA of SpringSource dm Server today but I’m proud to announce that Spring IDE 2.2 has been released.

As always the release is available from the update site hosted at Amazon S3. Here are the links:

• Update site: http://dist.springframework.org/release/IDE (this link does not work in a browser, but in your Eclipse update manager!)
• Archived update site: spring-ide_updatesite_2.2.0_v200809261800.zip
• Changelog: Release 2.2

This release introduces a first version of an incremental approach to model creation and validation. This will help to speed up the usual development cycle of edit-save-compile-validate by detecting structural changes to Java classes and only trigger project validation and re-creation of the AOP model if actually required. In essence you will not need to wait if you just change a method body.
