Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the 4.2.0 release of the Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse, Visual Studio Code, and Atom.

Highlights from this release include:

• (Spring Boot) new: Allow configuration of VM arguments for LSP process "PropertiesLauncher" (#211)
• (Spring Boot) performance: major performance improvements to symbol indexing infrastructure by caching created symbols across language server starts
• (Spring Boot) performance: replaced internal type indexing with communication to JDT (language server) to save time and memory spend for keeping our own type index
• (Eclipse) new: distribution updated to Eclipse 2019-03
• (Eclipse) new: enables Spring JMX support now by default in Spring Boot launch configs
• various additional bug fixes and improvements
