SpringSource Tool Suite

SpringSource Tool Suite (STS) provides the best Eclipse-powered development environment for building Spring-powered enterprise applications. SpringSource Tool Suite provides the best and most complete set of tools for creating Spring applications that run on the major application server platforms such as Apache Tomcat, IBM WebSphere, Oracle WebLogic, JBoss, SpringSource tc Server and SpringSource dm Server. SpringSource Tool Suite is freely available for development and internal business operations use with no time limits.

STS is the only tool on the market that enables Spring applications to be packaged and deployed onto a modular OSGi runtime environment as provided by SpringSource dm Server. STS also incorporates a task-focused user interface to speed development, architecture review tools to guide developers toward best practices, and runtime error analysis with automated resolution lookup to help developers solve problems in running applications.
