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.

Tooling for the JavaScript Era

More and more applications are being built with JavaScript, and not only for the client side but also utilising JavaScript server side. As the complexity of JavaScript applications increases there is a need for the tools to improve – textmate isn’t necessarily the answer! The user shouldn’t need to lower their expectations when stepping out of amazing Java tools and tackling JavaScript development. In this session we will present our vision for tooling for the JavaScript era and demo some early versions and prototypes of what we think the next generation JavaScript tools could look like.

Attendees will see a lot of live demos during the session. At the end we will open-up the session for feedback on what we’ve talked about and demo’d.

What's new with tooling for Spring, Grails and the Cloud

In this talk we will give an overview of the recently open-sourced and newly organized tooling landscape for Spring, Groovy/Grails and Cloud Foundry (we’ll touch on Gradle too). We will introduce the new open-sourced tooling projects and how they fit together to form our new distributions: the Spring Tool Suite and the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite. In addition to that we will demo the latest feature additions to the tools that enable you to be even more productive.

The first part of this talk will focus on Spring whilst the second part focuses on Groovy/Grails. Attend one (or both!) parts of the session.

Tooling for Spring's next generation

The Spring Tool Suite (STS) is constantly evolving to keep pace with developments in Spring as well as the larger world of enterprise application development. This talk focuses on Eclipse-based tooling for the latest features throughout the Spring ecosystem. With plenty of live demos, we'll show you how to get productive quickly with Spring and STS. We''ll start with reviewing areas including XML-free Spring development and then look at early support for specific Spring's next generation features. We'll also demo the Eclipse support for Java 8 (also AspectJ support for Java 8) and spend some time looking at how this enhances your Spring development experience.

In addition to the pure Java-based Spring programming, we will also cover the integration of the Groovy language tooling and show you how to program Spring apps in Groovy using the Spring Tool Suite.

We will then dive into the details of the tooling to demonstrate a number of hidden gems that help you improve your productivity every day, like the built-in validations and best practices, quick-fixes, auto-completions, and automated refactorings.

Last, but not least, we will review some of the performance improvements made recently in Spring Tool Suite.
