Spring IDE plugin for Eclipse - correct download location
I have been having a lot of trouble today trying to find the Eclipse plugin for Spring. I eventually found it here:
http://springide.org/updatesite/
This URL should work with the Eclipse install/update GUI. Enjoy!
P.S. according to some forums you will need to uncheck the 'Spring IDE Dependencies' options for versions earlier than Eclipse 3.2.x.
Update:
You may get errors like the following:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Spring IDE AJDT Integration (optional) 2.3.0.200912170948-RELEASE (org.springframework.ide.eclipse.ajdt.feature.feature.group 2.3.0.200912170948-RELEASE)
Missing requirement: Spring IDE AOP Visualiser UI 2.3.0.200912170948-RELEASE (org.springframework.ide.eclipse.ajdt.ui.visualiser 2.3.0.200912170948-RELEASE) requires 'package org.eclipse.contribution.visualiser.core 0.0.0' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: Spring IDE AJDT Integration (optional) 2.3.0.200912170948-RELEASE (org.springframework.ide.eclipse.ajdt.feature.feature.group 2.3.0.200912170948-RELEASE)
To fix this, you need to add the Apache AspectJ tools for Eclipse. AspectJ is an Aspect Oriented Programming framework which is very popular, and can be used within Spring. If you check all of the options for the Spring download, you may want to download all of the AspectJ dependencies first.
Under 'Help' > 'Install New Plugins' go to 'Add' and use http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/35/update as the download site (you may need to adjust for your version of Eclipse, see: http://eclipse.org/ajdt/downloads/).
Once you have installed all the plugins/dependencies that you want, try installing Spring again using http://springide.org/updatesite/ inside Eclipse.
