Is Spring Framework plugin available for WSAD

[theone]

Hi,

I'm looking for a Spring plugin I can use in my Websphere Studio Application Developer 5.1.2

Is there a working example in WSAD that I can download?

Thank you

Spring IDE should work with WSAD too. You only have to use a recent JRE (preferably v1.4.2) instead of IBM's JRE J9 (v1.3) which ships with WSAD.

How do you get WSAD to actually run under a different JRE? It's simple to select a different JDK for building projects etc, but I thought the IDE itself was hard linked to the IBM JDK..?

To change to different JRE, go to window->preferences->Java->Installed JRE's

In WSAD that doesn't affect the JRE used to actually run the IDE unless I'm missing something. Dumping config settings (after switching to Sun JDK 1.4 for example and restarting the IDE) shows that J9 is still being used.

I don't know WSAD. But if it's similar to Eclipse then the launcher may support an option to specify a JRE. Eclipse's eclipse.exe provides the option "-vm" for this. For details please refer to Eclipse / WSAD online help "Workbench User Guide / Tasks / Running Eclipse").

To get WSAD to run on a different JRE do the following (assuming Windows platform):

1. Create a shortcut

2. Put this in the target field (adjust path for your system):
"C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere Studio\Application Developer\v5.1.2\wsappdev.exe" -vm "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\jre\bin\java.exe" -vmargs -Xms90m -Xmx256m

3. Put your workspace in the Start in field (adjust path for your system):
"C:\Documents and Settings\2devnull\My Documents\IBM\wsappdev51\spring"

4. Remove the line VMArgs=-Xj9 from wsappdev.ini (usually found in C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere Studio\Application Developer\v5.1.2) (THIS IS THE KEY, OR IT WOULDN'T WORK)

5. Restart WSAD using the Shortcut

BTW: Torsten Juergeleit had helped me with this. I have the Spring plugin working just fine.

2devnull,

Can you help me get Spring working in my WSAD? Examples will be great too.

Thanks in advance

1. Open your Install/Update perspective.

2. Right click on the 'Features Update' pane and select NEW-> Site Bookmark...

3. In the Name: put 'Spring IDE'

4. In the URL put 'http://springframework.sourceforge.net/spring-ide/eclipse/updatesite/'

5. Leave the rest as defaults

6. Click Finish

7. Expand the bookmark (Spring Framework and Spring IDE) and install Spring Framework 1.0.2 and Spring IDE - Beans Configuration Support 1.0.3

8. Close WSAD and restart using shortcut (the one created to use JRE 1.4 - see post above)

9. In Web perspective, right click on your project folder and select Add Spring Beans Project Nature

10. Now you can use it Windows->Show View->Other->Spring IDE->Spring Beans

7. Expand the bookmark (Spring Framework and Spring IDE) and install Spring Framework 1.0.2 and Spring IDE - Beans Configuration Support 1.0.2

A little typo: "Spring IDE - Beans Configuration Support 1.0.3"
