Installation
Spring IDE is a set of Eclipse plugins packaged as a features. The
features are hosted on a website (aka updatesite) which is
accessed by Eclipse's update manager.

Some ground-level requirements before going into the update

procedure: Spring IDE requires a Eclipse 3.2 or 3.3 with
platform-corresponding JDT, WTP and GEF installed (optionally
Mylyn and AJDT) and Java 5 or Java 6 (Java 6 users see extra
note).

We strongly recommend downloading the Eclipse Europa 3.3 Java

EE distribution from the download page at http://eclipse.org
/downloads. That download contains all dependencies and you
are ready to go.

Clean Install - Installation without prior installation of Spring

IDE:

Point the Eclipse Update Manager to http://springide.org

/updatesite.
Don't try to install the "Spring IDE Dependencies (only for
Eclipse 3.2.x)" from the "Dependency" category on Eclipse
3.3. This feature is intended only for Eclipse 3.2 and is to
keep Spring IDE backward-compatible. You will not be able
to continue with the installation if you select this feature
on Eclipse 3.3
Optionally install or update Mylyn and AJDT from the linked
associate sites.

Update Install - Installation with prior installation for Spring

IDE 2.x or 1.x:

Delete all plugins and features with the name

org.springframework.* from the plugins and features
directory of your Eclipse installation or extension location.
Restart your Eclipse and point the Eclipse Update Manager
to http://springide.org/updatesite.
Don't try to install the "Spring IDE Dependencies (only for
Eclipse 3.2.x)" from the "Dependency" category on Eclipse
3.3. This feature is intended only for Eclipse 3.2 and is to
keep Spring IDE backward-compatible. You will not be able
to continue with the installation if you select this feature
on Eclipse 3.3
Optionally install or update Mylyn and AJDT from the linked
associate sites.

Spring IDE 2.0.2 and Java 6:

In order to use Spring IDE within an Eclipse running on

Java 6 you need to install the "Spring IDE OSGi Extension
(optional)" feature. This feature ships the
"org.springframework.osgi.backport.util.concurrent "
bundle which exports required packages for Spring 2.5 on
Java 6. That will be solved in future releases by moving the
"org.springframework.osgi.backport.util.concurrent" to the

core feature.

Spring IDE 2.0.3 and Java 6:

2.0.3 does not need the optional "Spring IDE OSGi

Extension (optional)" feature to work on Java 6. Just install
the desired features as you are used prior to 2.0.2.

We strongly recommend that you follow the steps outlined in

"Update Install" above for every update of your Spring IDE
installation; especially if you used a development or nightly build
version, but even for final version updates.

Required Software
Eclipse Platform

Eclipse 3.1 (or newer) is required to run Spring IDE 1.3.x with
it's basic features (BeansView, BeansConfigValidator,
BeansSearch). For Spring IDE 2.0 at least Eclipse 3.2.x is
required. For Spring IDE's BeansGraph you have to install the
corresponding version of Eclipse's Graphical Editing Framework
(GEF).

WST: Web Standard Tools

To use the more advanced features of Spring IDE 1.3.x

(BeansXmlEditor, WebFlowEditor) the Web Standard Tools (WST)
(which is part of the Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project (WTP))
are required. WST itself has strict requirements, e.g. for version
1.0.x these are as follows:

Eclipse 3.1.x
GEF 3.1.x
EMF/SDO/XSD 2.1.x
JEM 1.1.0.x

Starting with Spring IDE 2.0 the requirements are as follows:

Eclipse 3.2.x
Web Tools 1.5.x

You can download WST and all required packages manually from
here or use Eclipse's update manager as described here.

AJDT: AspectJ Development Tools

AJDT is not required, but to leverage full power of the Spring

IDE's AOP support make sure to install them. If AJDT is not
installed certain features of the AOP support are disabled. More
specificaly the reference contributions to AJDT's Cross Reference
view and AJDT's Visualiser are disabled.

The BeansCrossReferencesView and-therefore-Spring IDE's

internal AOP weaver and reference model can operate without
having AJDT installed.

You can download AJDT and all required packages manually from
here or use Eclipse's update manager as described here.

Alternate Types of Installation

Installation of Spring IDE with required dependencies from the Callisto
Discovery Site

If you already have Eclipse 3.2 installed then you can also use
Eclipse's update manager to install Spring IDE with all required
features from the Callisto Discovery Site. A detailed description is
available in the wiki page SpringideCallistoInstall.

Installation of archived version of Spring IDE's update site

An archived version of the update site

(springide_updatesite_x.x.x.zip) can also be downloaded from
http://springide.org/updatesite/ and used locally with Eclipse's
update manager. Do not unzip these archives into your
Eclipse installation directory. This will destroy your Eclipse
installation!

There is also a developer updatesite available where you can

install development versions of Spring IDE from. The procedure
to install from the dev updatesite is the same as described
above; expect that you have to use http://springide.org
/updatesite_dev/ as URL.

Previous releases of Spring IDE can be installed from the

updatesites http://springide.org/updatesite_1.1.x/ (Spring IDE
1.1.0 - 1.2.0) or http://springide.org/updatesite_1.x/ (Spring IDE
1.2.0 - 1.3.6).
