Spring emerged as an application framework and can be considered as de-facto standard in the area of light-weight Java EE application development. Still there is one concern people constantly bring up: The XML bean definition files can get quite complex and error-prone during development. This problem has been greatly addressed with the new Spring 2.0 XML Schema-based configuration, but still there is room for improvement regarding tooling support to make Spring development even more agile.
Spring IDE provides support features within the Eclipse platform for Spring Framework development. It gives you useful tools to validate and visualize your bean definitions as well as support while editing Spring Bean defintions with content assist and much more.
Version 2.0 of Spring IDE will provide long-awaited features such as support for Spring 2.0 namespace-based configuration files, support for Spring AOP including @AspectJ-style aspects and - due to overwhelming community feedback - tools for Spring Web Flow development. Furthermore lots of detailed improvements have been incorporated in latest releases.
This session will introduce the new features of Spring IDE 2.0 and will give you an update of Spring IDE's roadmap.
