Oracle has released a Spring extension for JDeveloper. It looks like the primary author is Duncan Mills. While this is an early access release, it already looks quite compelling (see the screenshots via the link below). It's also great news for Spring users as it means that there are now Spring specific extensions for all 4 common Java IDEs in use today.
