Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the 4.16.0 release of the Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse, Visual Studio Code, and Theia.

major changes to the Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse distribution

• updated to Eclipse 2022-09 release (new and noteworthy)
• new distribution build for Linux on ARM included now (experimental) - downloads are here
• m2e 2.0.5 release included in distribution builds for Eclipse

important note for upgrading from a previous installation on Eclipse

• Due to the major update to m2e 2.0 that comes with the Eclipse 2022-09 release, several additional third-party m2e connector extensions that the Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse distribution had installed in the past are no longer compatible. This prevents the automatic update of installations of Spring Tools prior to 4.16.0 to the new release. There are two options how to mitigate this:
  • start with a fresh install of Spring Tools 4.16.0 for Eclipse
  • go to the Preferences -> Installation Details and uninstall the following features via the Uninstall button, then restart the IDE, do a Check for Updates, and do the upgrade.
    • Maven Integration for Eclipse JDT Annotation Processor Toolkit
    • m2e connector for mavenarchiver pom properties
    • m2e connector for build-helper-maven-plugin

Hi, Spring fans! How are you? It's a fantastic Tuesday, the 5th of September, 2022, and I couldn't be happier. It's also Labor Day weekend here in the US.
