Dear Spring Community,

we are happy to announce the next major release of our Eclipse-based tooling today: The Spring Tool Suite (STS) 3.1.0 and the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) 3.1.0.

Highlights from this release include:

• Eclipse Juno SR1 updates (including Mylyn, EGit, m2e, m2e-wtp)
• Mac distributions now OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion Gatekeeper compatible
• updated to tc Server 2.7.2
• new Spring Data Gemfire project templates
• the new Live Beans Graph feature (experimental)
• grails import wizard
• support for mavenized grails projects
• updated to Groovy 2.0.4 and Grails 2.1.1

Some of our users reported general performance issues with the new Eclipse Juno 4.2 platform that STS 3.0.0 shipped with. Most of these issues seem to be related to the underlying UI platform and its usage from various plugins and extensions. Since our goal is to provide the best possible user experience, we decided to provide two separate distributions for STS 3.1.…

A second milestone of the Spring MVC Test project is now available through the SpringSource Artifactory repository http://repo.springsource.org/milestone.

There is much that's new. On the server side we've added support for servlet filters, basic support for Spring Security, the ability to define default request properties and expectations to re-use across every performed request, and much more. On the client side we've greatly expanded the options for request matching and response creation.

For further details and comments read this blog post.
