The IDE provides built-in support for the Spring Framework. The Spring Framework libraries
(versions 3.0 and 2.5) are packaged with the IDE and are available in the Library Manager.
They can also be automatically added to the project classpath during project creation.
Support for Spring XML bean configuration files is also provided. The configuration files
are managed by the following functional components:
- New Spring XML Configuration File wizard. XML bean configuration
files can be easily created. The wizard provides a list of standard Spring
namespaces to choose from when creating the configuration file.
- Spring Framework panel. This panel, located in
the Project Properties window, enables you to specify all the Spring configuration
files in a project, as well as organize them into groups.
The following functionality is provided for Spring bean configuration files:
- Code completion. Invoked in Spring XML configuration files for
Java classes as well as bean references.
- Navigation. Hyperlinking of Java classes and properties mentioned in
Spring bean definitions, as well as hyperlinking to other Spring bean references.
- Refactoring. Renaming of references to Java classes
in Spring XML configuration files.
- Go to Spring Bean dialog. The Go to Spring
Bean dialog enables you to quickly locate Spring beans contained in projects opened
in the IDE.
