- The Spring Initializr Java Support extension provides support for generating quickstart Spring Boot Java projects with Spring Initiailizr API. Spring Boot Dashboard The Spring Boot Dashboard extension provides an explorer in the side bar where you can view all of a workspace's spring boot.
- The Spring Tools 4 can connect to running Spring processes to visualize internal information of those running Spring processes inline with your source code. This allows you to see, for example, which beans have bean created at runtime, how they are wired, and more.
- You can use them in Eclipse, Visual Studio Code, Atom IDE. SEE ALSO: Spring Tools for Eclipse IDE. Re-built from scratch – Most of the Spring tooling has been rewritten from scratch. Continuous Updates – Moving forward, the Spring Tools 4 will receive continuous updates with bug fixes as well as new and improved features.
Download Visual Studio Community, Professional, and Enterprise. Try Visual Studio IDE, Code or Mac for free today. Spring Tools 4 now bridges the gap between your source code and running Spring Boot applications. By taking advantage of the Spring Boot Actuators, we enriched the source code with detailed information from the running app (e.g., exact bean wiring information, conditional reports.
VSCode extension and Language Server providing support for working with Spring Bootapplication.properties
, application.yml
and .java
files.
The extension will automatically activate when you edit files with the followingname patterns:
*.java
=> activates Spring Boot specific support editing.java
files.application*.properties
=> activates support for Spring Boot properties in.properties
format.application*.yml
=> activates support for Spring Boot properties in.yml
format.
You can also define your own patterns and map them to the language-idsspring-boot-properties
or spring-boot-properties-yaml
by defining files.associations
in workspace settings. See vscode documentation for details.
Navigating the source code - Go to symbol in file/workspace
Easy navigation to Spring-specific elements of your source code.
Shortcuts
- Mac: Cmd-Shift-O (symbols in file), Cmd-T (symbols in workspace)
- Linux/Windows: Ctrl-Shift-O (symbols in file), Ctrl-T (symbols in workspace)
Examples
@/
shows all defined request mappings (mapped path, request method, source location)@+
shows all defined beans (bean name, bean type, source location)@>
shows all functions (prototype implementation)@
shows all Spring annotations in the code
Quick-access for running apps
Easy navigation to the provided request mappings of running apps.
Shortcuts
- Mac: Cmd-Shift-O (symbols in file), Cmd-T (symbols in workspace)
- Linux/Windows: Ctrl-Shift-O (symbols in file), Ctrl-T (symbols in workspace)
Examples
//
shows all request mappings of all running Spring Boot apps and opens a browser for the selected endpoint
Live application information hovers
The Spring Tools 4 can connect to running Spring processes to visualize internal information of those running Spring processes inline with your source code. This allows you to see, for example, which beans have bean created at runtime, how they are wired, and more.
The Spring Tools 4 shows hints by highlighting sections of source code with a light green background. Hovering over the highlights with the mouse pointer, data from the running app is displayed in a popup.
For some types of information, STS 4 may also show a 'quick summary' as a codelens. Codelenses are only supported in Eclipse and Vscode at the moment, not in atom. For Eclipse this has to be enabled via Preferences >> Language Servers >> Spring Language Servers >> Spring Boot Language Server.
Adobe acrobat for mac sierra. If there are multiple instances of the app running on your machine, the live data from all those instances will show up in the hover information.
Examples
@Profile
: shows information about the active profiles on the running apps@Component
,@Bean
,@Autowired
: shows detailed information about the beans and their wiring from the live app@ConditionalOn..
: shows information about the conditions and their evaluation at runtime
Application Requirements for Spring Boot projects
Live information is scraped from running apps using JMX to connect to Spring Boot Actuator Endpoints. This means that spring-boot-actuator
must be added as a dependency to your application and enabled. The easiest way to accomplish this is to add the spring-boot-actuator-starter
dependency to your application's pom.xml
or build.gradle
as explained here.
Spring Tools 4 For Visual Studio Code
Spring Boot 2.2 and beyond
⚠️ The JMX versions of the actuator endpoints (which the tooling uses under the hood to retrieve live data from the running applications) is not enabled by default anymore since Spring Boot 2.2. In order to allow Spring Tools 4 to continue to visualize live data from the running applications, you need to start the boot app with -Dspring.jmx.enabled=true
in order to activate the JMX endpoints.
Managing Live Data Connections
Press CTRL-SHIFT-P
(or CMD-SHIFT-P
on Mac) and select the command to'Manage Live Spring Boot Process Connections'. A choice of actions to connect/refresh/disconnectto local processes found on your machine will then be presented.
Code templates
Write Spring code with templates, available via regular code completion.
Examples
@GetMapping
@PostMapping
@PutMapping
Smart code completions
Additional code completions for Spring-specific annotations
Examples
@Value
: code completion for Spring Boot property keys@Scope
: code completion for standard scope names
This extension analyzes your project's classpath and parses and indexes any Spring BootProperties Metadata it finds. Both Maven and Gradle projects are supported.
The data in the index is used to provide validation, code completions and informationhovers while editing Spring Boot Properties in either .properties
or .yml
format.
