Spring IDE 2.0 M2 released

Torsten and I are pleased to announce that the second milestone of Spring IDE 2.0 has just been released. The release is available from the developer update site at http://springide.org/updatesite_dev.

If you haven’t installed and tested the first milestone head over to New features in Spring IDE 2.0 M1 and read what you have missed so far.

To get some more details of what went into M2 check out the Release 2.0 M2 roadmap entry. Most significantly we have added some more features to the AOP support. Spring IDE now ships support for AJDT’s visualiser, inter-type declarations and Spring’s advisor concept. Talking about support for the <aop:advisor /> element it is interesting to note that Spring IDE is now capable to show you every Spring bean that is wrapped by a transactional proxy given that you use <tx:advice /> to define your transaction attributes.

I will probably post more on the AOP support later this week, incl. some screen shots.

Update: I’ve put together a new entry that demonstrates the AOP festures. You can find the entry at SpringideAopShowcase.

Spring IDE on InfoQ

The Spring IDE is nearing release of version 2.0 and Rod Johnson has posted an update on their progress. Spring IDE is a set of plugins for Eclipse that provide a GUI for Spring’s configuration files. #

Nice to see that we made on InfoQ.
