Installing the STS plugin on the Eclipse platform

Installing the STS plugin on the Eclipse platform

• Scenario Description

When we do some research and development based on the spring, Spring MVC open-source technology framework, the STS IDE or STS plugin is undoubtedly the best choice. For example, code hints when editing spring profiles, auto-complete functionality.

• Eclipse Select

Eclipse offers a variety of versions, of which I prefer the following two versions.

EclipseLunaRS2 : The official compatible version of Java SE 8.

EclipseNeon3 : Update is fast and suitable for technical enthusiasts.

This article selects eclipse-jee-neon-3-win32-x86_64.zip, which is as follows:

(1) Eclipse Official website: https://www.eclipse.org/

Download URL (not sure which day will expire):

Way One: Help | About Eclipse sees something like this

Where 4.6.3 is the Eclipse version number.

Double-click "Eclipse-jee-neon-3-win32-x86_64.zip" | eclipse| . eclipseproduct Open this file to view the contents as follows:

Where version=4.6.3 represents the current software version number. Don't ask me how I know it ~ ~

• STS Select

STS Full name Spring Toolssuite. In this case, we have two versions to choose from.

Version One: Spring is based on the version of the Eclipse platform integration and can be used directly after downloading the extract. Some of these configuration items are somewhat different from the eclipse we typically use.

Version two: Install STS plugin on standalone Eclipse platform, I prefer this way.

Spring Official website: Https://spring.io

Spring STS integrated Download URL: https://spring.io/tools/sts/legacy

Spring STS plugin Download URL: Https://spring.io/tools/sts/all

Where: Update Site archives can be installed offline,

Update Sites support for Eclipse online installation.

Very not recommended for online installation, speed is too slow, I 100M bandwidth, SSD hard drive installed nearly half an hour.
