Spring IDE

Exadel Studio bundles a Spring Framework editor from Spring IDE for Eclipse. Visit this site for the latest versions and documentation.

You can add a Spring Project nature to an existing project by right-clicking on the project and selecting from the context menu.

Once the nature is added, you will see a small S decorating a Spring project in the Package Explorer view. To remove the nature, right click the project and select Remove Spring Project Nature.

After creating a Spring configuration file with bean definitions:

Select Spring Beans project with Project/Properties/Spring Beans from the menu bar.

Add the Spring bean configuration files to your project.

Once you add this file, the file will be marked by an S to indicate a Spring bean file.

To activate the Spring Beans view, select Window/Show View.../Other/Spring IDE/Spring Beans from the menu bar.

The Spring Beans view shows a read-only outline view of the Spring bean configuration file.

Using a context menu, you can select a graph view of the Spring configuration file's referenced beans.
