JavaConfig Visualization

[lgothard]

Any plans to add JavaConfig Visualization?

[Andrew Eisenberg]

There are no current plans to support this, but I would recommend that you raise an enhancement request on our issue tracker:

http://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS

It is unlikely that a new feature will be able to be added in the 2.3.3 stream, but such an enhancement request will be useful to us when we start planning for the release after 2.3.3.

Well, this is already supported as much it is possible for Spring 3.x @Configuration and @Bean annotated classes and methods. You just need to have a Spring XML configuration file configured with STS; within this config file you need to specify the </context:annotation-config> and create a bean with your @Configuration-annotated configuration class.

STS does currently not support the special JavaConfig ApplicationContext implementations.

We don't have support for old-style Spring JavaConfig (before it was merged with Spring Framework and itself deprecated).
