We provide daily snapshot builds as pre-releases in Visual Studio Code. The extension page in Visual Studio Code allows you to switch your installation to those snapshot pre-release builds instead of the latest release (e.g. in case you would like to try latest fixes and improvements before they get published as part of a release).

: prodiving editor support for Concourse CI config filesIn addition, there are specific p2 repositories for specific versions of Eclipse, in case you don't use the latest Eclipse release:
These p2 repository URLs always point at the latest Spring Tools release for the related Eclipse version.
We provide up-to-date snapshot builds of the Spring Tools for Eclipse via:
https://cdn.spring.io/spring-tools/snapshot/STS4/nightly-distributions.html
There, you can find the latest snapshot builds as full distribution builds for the various Eclipse base versions as well as p2 update site URLs for those snapshot builds.
Here, you can also find early access builds of the Spring Tools for Eclipse for the next upcoming Eclipse versions.
Download and install Theia for desktop:
Install from the Extensions view:
More detailed instructions on installing extension from Visual Studio Marketplace can be found here
Theia IDE can be deployed in a Cloud environment and served over the web. (See Instructions for Deployment in the Cloud) If Theia IDE is deployed and running somewhere then STS extensions can be installed into Theia with the Extension Manager. You can use the Extension Manager to install the STS 4 vscode extensions which you can get from our VSCode Extensions Downloads page. Note that in order for this to work your Theia instance must have both the:
@theia/plugin-ext
) and the@theia/plugin-ext-vscode
) included.The Spring Tools contain an isolated component that runs in a separate process and provides most of the services that the Spring Tools add to their environment. This separate process is a so-called "language server", it uses the Language Server Protocol to communicate with the surrounding editors and IDEs.
This language server itself is written in Java and requires a JRE to run. In most cases, the JRE to run this separate process will be the same JRE that is used to either run the IDE (for the Eclipse case) or the JRE that is used to run the Java language server from the Java Language Tooling Extension (in the VSCode case).
In case the tooling can't identify those JREs, it looks in these places and uses the first java
executable found to run this process:
${language-server-name}.ls.java.home
settings. Where ${language-server-name}
is one of spring-boot
, concourse
, cloudfoundry-manifest
or bosh
. This setting is specific fora particular language server and only affects how that server launches.JAVA_HOME
environment variablejava
executable in the PATH
It is possible to use the Spring Boot and Java tooling with projects that require older JRE to compile and run since the JRE used for this purpose is independent of the JRE used to launch the language server itself. The best way to configure the JRE for the language server independently is to set ${language-server-name}.ls.java.home
in vscode's user or workspace settings - in case the tooling can't identify the correct JRE automatically.
