I’m following this tutorial about Spring development which describes that to setup Eclipse, use Eclipse Europa, with Web Tools Platform (WTP), and Project Spring IDE Project.
However, Eclipse Europa site says that its about a project from 2007, and the Spring IDE project website seems dead / broken as well. So that article might be out of date.
I’ve downloaded the ‘Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers’ package from Eclipse’s downloads package. Is that sufficient or should I get Europa, Web Tools Platform, and Spring IDE?
Any other plugins/packages that make Spring development easier with Eclipse?
IMO the Spring ToolSuite is the canonical Eclipse/Spring package.
Europa is quite old; not sure why it’d be under consideration. IIRC Juno is current.
