Early Access: SpringSource Tool Suite for Eclipse Juno (4.2) |
|
Wanna use the SpringSource Tool Suite on the latest Eclipse Juno (4.2) milestone builds? Here you go: 
How to install
- Download and install the latest: Eclipse Juno JEE milestone build
- Download the bookmarks.xml and import that to your list of update sites (Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Update Sites -> Import).
- Go to "Install New Software" and select SpringSource Tool Suite for Eclipse 4.2: http://dist.springsource.com/snapshot/TOOLS/nightly/e4.2.
- Select the components you would like to use and install.
- Restart and use STS on Eclipse 4.2.
The necessary dependencies for STS are all available from the composite update site: http://dist.springsource.com/snapshot/TOOLS/composite/e4.2, if you wanna add something manually.
Managing update sites yourself
Here are the individual update sites from which you can install STS, AJDT and Groovy-Eclipse for Juno (4.2):
- http://dist.springsource.com/snapshot/TOOLS/nightly/e4.2
- http://dist.springsource.org/snapshot/GRECLIPSE/e4.2/
- http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/37/dev/update/
Known limitations
Since the Eclipse Juno distribution is based on the Eclipse 4.x stream, you will notice quite some changes on the UI when starting the latest Eclipse Juno builds. And we haven't yet adapted to all changes, therefore the Maven support of STS (for example) is not yet working. If you observe anything else, please let us know.
Feedback
This is an early access version of STS that is continually updated by our CI servers. If you observe problems running STS on top of your Eclipse Juno (4.2) M5 (or later) installation, please let us know and report issues to: https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS. Since we are planning towards a distribution on top of Eclipse Juno for STS 3.0, we would be very happy to hear your opinion about that and gather feedback as early as possible.
Outlook
We are planning towards an STS 3.0 release right after the Eclipse Juno release in July 2012, providing ready-to-go-distributions of STS based on Eclipse Juno.

Added on March 14th, 2012 at 5:28 pmhttp://dist.springsource.com/snapshot/TOOLS/nightly/e4.2 gives Access Denied. Eclipse says not found

Added on March 15th, 2012 at 2:04 amAccessing the update site URL with the browser gives you an access denied message back, this is expected behavior. What exactly happens when you add that to Eclipse? Can you give us more details/error logs or so? That would be great! Since this is a nightly update site that is regularly updated by our CI build, it is possible that you access the site while it is being updated. And that might result in a message that there is no update site being found. In that case, please try again at a later time.
HTH, Martin

Added on March 15th, 2012 at 8:48 amWe have trouble getting updates uploaded to the site at the moment, therefore it is in a somewhat broken state. We are working on a solution. Please try again at a later time. Apologize for the inconvenience.

Added on March 16th, 2012 at 9:09 pmwhat update sites for gradle support?
Martin Lippert (blog author) says:
Added on March 18th, 2012 at 4:50 amThere is no special version for Eclipse 4.2 for Gradle support at the moment. You should be able to use the latest Gradle release update site from here: http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/gradle. If you have trouble or observe issues with running this version of the Gradle support in Eclipse 4.2, please let us know and report to the issuetracker. Thanks!!!

Added on March 20th, 2012 at 12:23 pmI am getting the same problems ("Communication with repository at http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/update/e3.6 failed" – Read timed out). I've tried a couple of times today without success.

Added on March 21st, 2012 at 3:53 amWhy are you using the update site for Eclipse 3.6? It was not mentioned in the description above. Can you provide steps to reproduce?
Dan Buchko says:
Added on March 21st, 2012 at 8:35 amNever mind — it was Kaspersky blocking access to the site. Disabled Kaspersky and was able to complete the install.

Added on August 13th, 2012 at 12:42 pmIt's now post-juno release, and I don't see STS for Juno in the eclipse marketplace. Should I still use the "early access" update site, or am I just not searching correctly in the Eclipse marketplace?
Martin Lippert (blog author) says:
Added on August 13th, 2012 at 1:35 pmWe released STS and GGTS 3.0.0 today, on top of Eclipse Juno. So the best way to get this is to download the complete distribution from here: http://www.springsource.org/sts. The Eclipse Marketplace entry takes a while to get approved, but then it should also be available from the Marketplace.
HTH,
Martin
