Is there any possibility that the Spring Surf STS Plugin is out of date, because analyzing the jar all the xml files and manifest refers to CI instead of RC1. I can't get to work the spring surf template, because in the sts it is fetching with the CI version not the RC1. My regards, thank you for your help Alberto.
