SpringSource has just released a new milestone version of SpringSource Tool Suite: 2.5.0.RC1. STS provides the best Eclipse-powered development environment for building Spring and Grails powered enterprise applications.

The release comes only a few hours after we pushed Spring Roo 1.1.0.RC1. STS 2.5.0.RC1 certainly supports the new Roo version and comes with lots of improvements in the Roo and GWT support.

This is also the first time we are providing bundles based on Eclipse 3.6.1. If you aren't quite ready to try the cutting edge milestone release, then you can always download the 2.3.2.RELEASE version.

You can also get community support in the Spring Development Tools support forums. If you want to provide direct technical feedback, open a JIRA issue against the SpringSource Tool Suite project.

Downloads are available - as always - from our STS download page. Enjoy!
