Good news: we fixed an issue that caused inner class records to show up as bean definitions - so in case you came across this in the past, make sure to update to the latest release 😊

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

Bringing more Spring smartness to your coding agent doesn't stop with diagnostics, it comes with the corresponding quick fixes for those observations as well - now as skills and explanation markdowns that tell the agent precisely how to improve the code and fix the issue 🎉

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

Our extension for Claude Code can tell your agent what seems to be wrong with your project from a Spring perspective by deliverung diagnostics information directly to the agent - pretty nice to safe tokens and to enhance the agent with more Spring smartness 😎🥳

Our extension for Claude Code comes with a nice little skill that integrates Spring Initializr into Claude Code, making it super easy to create new Spring Boot projects right from within Claude Code... 😎🚀

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

Out now: Spring Tools for Claude Code 🥳🚀🎉 We added Claude Code to the family of supported coding environments - bringing Spring related tools and skills to Claude Code. All early stages and experimental, but feel free to give it a try: https://t.co/DHHBOVLEGX

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

And the quick fix can not just convert individual references, but several in one go 🥳

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

If you would like to know more about type-safe property references in Spring Data, there is a great talk by Mark Paluch, the awesome brain behind this, from Spring IO 2026 about this: https://t.co/Vn0yETjMxy

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

Not using the new type-safe property references in Spring Data yet? We are here to help 😎. Introducing a new validation that flags string-based property references automatically - and provides a quick fix to switch to the new mechanism 🚀🥳

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

If you are building MCP servers with Spring AI, having a good tool description can be key for an LLM to pick the right one. So we added a validation that checks for a (configurable) minimum length - just as a first indicator 😀

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

The new support for Spring AI in the Spring Tools starts with indexing the Spring AI annotations and giving you a nice overview in the outline view as well as the symbols navigation 😎🥳 @SpringAICentral

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

The version validation got a new option: in addition to fetching GA version information from https://t.co/xHp4gG1KcT, you can switch to a repository-based resolution, so if you have a company-internal or commercial repository configued, validations run against those versions🥳🚀
