Spring IDE 2.0 is build on top of the new tooling API.  So you might
want to raise any questions to either Torsten or me, because we are
using the API so quite some time now. If you want we can provide you
pointers to our source code to look at.

You can get all required configuration information without loading
classes. That is how Spring IDE works. We do have some problems with
classloading in namespaces but that is being addressed already by
Juergen ;-)

You can get more information on that topic in a blog I posted some
days ago: http://springide.org/blog/2007/04/05/adding-support-for-custom-namespaces/

In the blog you can find some information on how to implement a
"friendly" namespace handler. Look at the comments, too.

> Class AbstractSingleBeanDefinitionParser#getBeanClass(Element)

This problem is addressed. I raised it to Juergen.
