Focusing Enterprise Java Development: Mylyn and Spring IDE

Recently, the benefits of Mylyn have been combined with the open source Spring IDE project to provide a tool for developing Spring applications. Come to this talk to see this development tool in action.

Current Enterprise Java IDEs overload us with tens of thousands of artifacts. As a result, we often spend more time searching, scrolling, and navigating than we do programming. The open source Mylyn project re-aligns the software development experience around the tasks that make up our workday. Since being packaged as part of the default Eclipse downloads, this new approach to programming has been adopted by an increasingly large number of Java developers. More recently, the benefits of Mylyn's Task-Focused Interface have been combined with the open source Spring IDE project. This new combination of technologies is starting to make the development of large Enterprise Java applications fundamentally easier.

This talk will start with an overview of Spring IDE and the support for Spring 2.5, AOP, Web Flow and JavaConfig. We will then give several demonstrations that showcase how Spring IDE is working together with Mylyn to make your enterprise application development easier. The demonstrations will range from integrated issue tracking to the streamlined workflow that results when all your code and beans are automatically focused on the task-at-hand. We will also review the growing ecosystem around these two technologies, and present the roadmap for Spring application development tools with the first public demonstration of the SpringSource Tool Suite.
