Spring IDE setup

Follow these steps to install java: QBW Install-java

Download and install Spring STS :Ecliples with Spring plugin: http://www.springsource.com/products/springsource-download-center

I downloaded: springsource-tool-suite-2.2.0.RELEASE-e3.5.1-win32-installer.exe (231.00 mb)

No need to install:

Once the installation is completed: get the latest updates.

(Remember to restart after each update)

Click Help, Check for updates.

Goto HELP -> STS Dashboard.

Install EclEmma (CodeCoverage) from the Extensions tab.

Install Apache Tomcat from the Configuration tab. (Tomcat will be installed in the root of Springsource.)

Don't forget the updates to STS.

Goto HELP -> Install new software.
