Spring Tools 5.3.0 released for @code, @cursor_ai, @EclipseJavaIDE 2026-06, @theia_ide - and Claude Code - download from https://t.co/a8QKbLPwcN - for more details: https://t.co/sycc6NoRKN

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

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... 😎🚀

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

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

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 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

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🥳🚀

The next Spring Tools release is dropping next week. And it comes with something we're genuinely excited about that maybe surprises you - or maybe not. 😉 Can't wait to ship it. Stay tuned. 👀

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

Speaking of performance, we also removed the initial delay when opening the new logical structure view in VSCode for the first time. The content now shows up almost instantly 🚀😎

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

The language server inside the Spring Tools is a Spring Boot application, so we went ahead and integrated the option to create a Project Leyden based AOT cache to improve startup speed and reduce memory consumption of the language server process. Feel free to give it a try 😀🚀

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

Just in case something from the Spring Tools isn't working as expected and you would like to submint an issue and attach some logs: we made it a lot easier to configure the log level and the log destination when working inside of Eclipse

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

The wait is over, we finally brought back the "Spring" view category in Eclipse, so you can find all the awesome Spring-specific views there: the logical structure view, the symbols view, and the good old dashboard for all your Spring apps in your workspace 🥳😂

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

This new validation is awesome, but we don't stop there. Here comes the corresponding quick fix that let's you configure API versioning (both ways, via a WebConfigurer or related Spring Boot properties) without writing everything yourself 🥳😎

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

The newly introduced API versioning support in Spring Framework 7 is already nicely supported in the @springtools4 - for example by double checking for a proper configuration when using it 😎

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

We continued our work on this new bean completion and made it a lot faster... 🚀 And that is just the beginning, additional completion and quick fix speedups coming with the next release 😎

[Spring Tools @springtools4]

Auto completion for injecting bean dependencies coming to @springtools4 - just start typing the name of the bean you would like to use in a method body, and the auto completion will take care of adding a field + constructor injection for you 🥳
