Spring Tools: modern developer tooling for the Spring ecosystem
Spring Tools represents the modern generation of developer tools for the Spring ecosystem, available for Eclipse, Visual Studio Code, and Theia. The tooling is purpose-built for Spring and Spring Boot projects, delivering deep, context-aware support directly inside the editor.
Key capabilities include intelligent code completion, native understanding of Spring framework structures, and direct integration with Spring Initializr and Spring Guides for fast project setup. The tools also simplify source code navigation and provide real-time insights into running Spring Boot applications through Spring Boot Actuator integration. This makes building, exploring, and maintaining Spring applications faster and more effective.
