I’m using Intellij IDEA Community Edition for IDE, and I like it a lot. However, it does not have any special “Spring support” (plug-ins/tools).
My next project uses Spring (which I’m not very familiar with), and I’m wondering whether I should consider changing my IDE from early on; e.g. to SpringSource eclipse/Intellij IDEA Professional.
Do you guys have any experience with these IDE-built-in Spring support? Is it worth using?
EDIT: Sorry for the confusion. I use the community version of Intellij IDEA. I’m right now downloading the Ultimate version 🙂
I assume that you’re using the Community edition of IntelliJ, which doesn’t support Spring, but the commercial version does, and its support is absolutely stellar.
You can also use SpringSource Tool Suite, or Eclipse with the STS plugins installed, which has very good Spring support as well.
