Spring IDE 2.0 M4 released

We are proud to announce that the fourth milestone of Spring IDE 2.0 has been released. Read the announcement in the Spring Framework support forum.

The milestone is available immediately from our developer update site at http://springide.org/updatesite_dev. Please take some time for testing and provide feedback on any errors, bugs or problems you might find. Many thanks to all that already provided feedback and bug reports. The feedback is really valuable for us.

M4 will be the last milestone before we go RC1 around end of May and - hopefully - final close to SpringOne. The release candidate 1 will have support for Spring JavaConfig and a preliminary integration with the Mylar Eclipse plug-in.

Stay tuned …
