STS 2.6.0 Upgrade Error - Spring IDE

[Jabberz]

Spring IDE error when trying to read a 'resource.xml' file from a Grails project after upgrading from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0. Got the red marker, and it looks like some base components failed to load, no individual errors in the file.

Looks like someone else hit it too:

https://issuetracker.springsource.co...ream-issue-tab

Other details from my setup:

- Batch namespace added (and later removed) from the Spring file, made no difference on the error.

Also get:
Plug-in com.springsource.sts.roo.ui was unable to load class com.springsource.sts.roo.ui.internal.maven.RooProj ectConfigurator.

Plug-in com.springsource.sts.maven was unable to load class com.springsource.sts.maven.internal.core.SpringPro jectConfigurator.

Plug-in com.springsource.sts.maven was unable to load class com.springsource.sts.maven.internal.core.DataNucle usProjectConfigurator.

All three of those are no class def error stack traces in the Eclipse Error Log, but are otherwise not visibile to the Markers.

Hey,

could you please attach your complete error log to the JIRA issue. This is some sort of hard to debug error.

How did you install STS? From the distribution or through an update site.

I also only did the update site installation, though I suspect it applies to both from this ticket created:

I'm getting the same error for every one of the Spring configuration files in my web application. I've attached the error log and configuration to this post. Because of size restrictions, I broke the configuration up into two files and zipped those up. If you have any other questions about my configuration, let me know and I'll dig it up!

BTW, I installed clean from the primary installation exe after deleting my existing 2.5.1 installation.

[Jabberz]

FYI, I'm running Ubuntu, Helios, JDK 1.6.0.24. STS configuration is standard STS with Trac, Groovy, Grails, Roo, Subclipse, and EGit - all installed from STS Dashboard.

According to places this error comes from, looks like someone has an old dependency to xercesImpl. Given that this is a break over 2.5, perhaps it is related to a new package/import/dependency that got added.

[Christian Dupuis]

Hi,

I just published a fix for this to the STS Extension install (Open the STS Dashboard -> Extensions tab -> Select 'Patch for issue STS-1672' and click install).

For those of you with Spring IDE only, the patch can be installed from http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/patches/e3.6.

Let me know if you encounter any issues.

Christian

[BrianBLong]

Christian, Jabberz and rherrick thank you all so much for helping to find and fix this issue. I was getting this error Friday afternoon (and yesterday) and I was filled with anxiety thinking I'd fail to ship my very first web app, at my first "real job", right out of college.

Thanks for keeping up the quality and reliability that people have come to expect from Spring and the Spring Community Forums.

Hello the link above

http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/patches/e3.6

gives "AccessDenied"

thanks
