Spring IDE 2.2 released

[Christian Dupuis]

Dear Spring community,

as some of you have already noticed we have released Spring IDE 2.2.

This version adds a new incremental model creation and validation mode that should speed up your Spring development tremendously. The performance improvements are already quite significant but we are not done yet. Please let us know if you run into any problem.

As mentioned in http://springide.org/blog/2008/09/30...e-22-released/ the 2.2 release is the first version that does not support Eclipse 3.2 anymore. 3.2 was first released in Jun 2006 and has already been followed by two major Eclipse releases. The amount of work that went into maintaining backwards compatibility was actually preventing adopting new Eclipse features and is simply too much work.

Sorry, but you should look into updating your Eclipse environment.

Spring IDE 2.2 released

This might not be big news as we just announced GA of SpringSource dm Server today but I’m proud to announce that Spring IDE 2.2 has been released.

As always the release is available from the update site hosted at Amazon S3. Here are the links:

* Update site: (I'm not allowed to post URLs) (this link does not work in a browser, but in your Eclipse update manager!)
* Archived update site: spring-ide_updatesite_2.2.0_v200809261800.zip
* Changelog: Release 2.2

This release introduces a first version of an incremental approach to model creation and validation. This will help to speed up the usual development cycle of edit-save-compile-validate by detecting structural changes to Java classes and only trigger project validation and re-creation of the AOP model if actually required. In essence you will not need to wait if you just change a method body.

I can't see anything about Eclipse 3.2 here. Moreover, on the wiki page of SpringIDE titled 'SpringideInstall' we have information:

Some ground-level requirements before going into the update procedure: Spring IDE requires a Eclipse 3.2 or 3.3 with platform-corresponding JDT, WTP and GEF installed (optionally Mylyn and AJDT) and Java 5 or Java 6 (Java 6 users see extra note).

So, where can we find the complete information about the requirements?

The wiki page that you mentioned is outdated.
