Spring Tooling Update - New and Noteworthy

In this session we will walk through the Spring tooling landscape and demo the new and improved features. Attendees will see tooling support for Spring 3.1 in action together with improved support for annotation-based Spring programming including content-assist, validation, quick-fixes and refactorings. We will take a look at improved support for XML-based Spring programming and the tooling support for the Cloud Foundry PaaS. Then a quick tour of recent improvements in the Groovy/Grails support and our new Gradle tooling. We close this session with an overview of the general release cycle and the plan for the next releases.
