Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the second milestone release 3.5.0.M2 of the Spring Tool Suite (STS) and the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS).

Highlights from this milestone build include:

• improved new dashboard
• improved Jar-type content assist for Spring Boot
• initial support for Spring Groovy CLI apps
• major performance improvements for Gradle tooling (refresh dependencies)
• updated to Grails 2.3.5

Both tool suites ship on top of the latest Eclipse Kepler SR1 release.

Detailed new and noteworthy notes can be found here: STS/GGTS 3.5.0.M2 New & Noteworthy.

The 3.5.0 release is scheduled for early March 2014 - shortly after the Eclipse Kepler SR2 release.

Enjoy!
