Jürgen, > So if you encounter any issues till Sunday, feel > free to address them and send me a new zip. I am fine with the version 1.0.0 available from http://springframework.sourceforge.net/spring-ide/eclipse/updatesite/. Btw. is this address for the Eclipse plugin's "official" update site ok (http://springframework.sourceforge.net/... instead of http://www.springframework.org/...)? > Has anyone else already tried this plugin release? Two SpringUI users which complained about the missing support for inner beans are already using this plugin release (via update from http://springframework.sourceforge.net/spring-ide/eclipse/updatesite/). In the company I am working for some developers are using this plugin release (with Eclipse 2.1.2) too. Colin, are you using this plugin release with Eclipse 3.0 too? I am busy working on an update of the plugin. This will contain spring-core.jar 1.0.1, some minor bug fixes and a few preparations for an additional editor plugin. This update release 1.0.1 will be ready next week. The new editor plugin will use GEF to display a directed graph of Spring beans from a selected config file or config set in the Beans Config view. Later I will add a Spring-aware XML editor with auto-completion for bean classes and bean properties. A first preview of the graph view will be ready end of this month.
