M3 feedback

Published by Christian Dupuis 2 years, 11 months ago 23 Comments

We are definitely getting too little feedback on what users think, miss or dislike about Spring IDE. Therefore it is always nice to find some feedback - being good or bad - on the web:

Refactoring and string identifiers is a more valid concern, but it isn’t really an issue for me, as I’m using the latest and greatest Spring IDE in Eclipse (really awesome plugin, btw). Yeah, I’m leaning on a tool to help me with this, but so is everyone else when they lean on their IDE to refactor Java code (try refactoring a method name with notepad if you don’t believe me). #

I am using the Spring IDE 2.0 milestones from the development update site and I am very satisfied with all the new features. The Spring IDE team is doing a great job (thanks guys) and I believe that the 2.0 release is going to be a huge step forward. #

Thanks to Craig and Spyros.
