Support for functional web route definitions in @springtools.bsky.social now works for Spring WebMVC as well, understands static methods and builder pattern, visualizes the extracted routes in the symbols + logical structure view, and shows a nice code lens on the handler method 😎🚀

Builder pattern now supported in Spring Tools when analyzing code that defines WebFlux routes in a functional style... 🚀 Now the Spring Tools understand the static methods as well as the builder pattern and visualizes both - for example as a code lens above the handler method definition

Nice improvements coming as part of the Spring Tools 5.1.0 release, including syntax highlighting for SQL statements inside of query annotations for Spring Data JDBC projects... 🥳🚀

Using some of the Spring Cloud components? @springtools.bsky.social now uses spring.io/projects/gen... to verify that your Spring Cloud and Spring Boot versions are compatible with eath other and if not, report mismatches right within your IDE 🥳

Java 26 support has landed at start.spring.io as well as @springtools.bsky.social for Eclipse. All you need to do is to install the Java 26 support from the Eclipse Marketplace - and you are ready to go: create a new Spring Boot project using Java 26 from the build-in wizard - and go! 🚀🥳

Spring AI 2.0.0-M3 is now available and with it comes the ability to set metadata for tools and resources. And that makes MCP Apps possible. Read about how I’ve been tinkering with MCP Apps and how to blend AI chat with traditional UI design at spring.io/blog/2026/03...

I'll be talking in April at Spring I/O 2026 about the new stuff in Spring Boot 4. Looking forward to it! 2026.springio.net/sessions/spr... @springio.net #spring #springboot

Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot4 use JSpecify as standard non-null/nullable annotations, so we now have them automatically configured in @vscode.dev as well as the Spring Tools for @eclipseide.org distribution 🥳

And what a giant pleasure to welcome you to my home town… 😎🥳🤗

Always awesome to meet Mr Spring 🍃 Tools 🧰 @martinlippert.bsky.social in person

Quick heads-up: the option to disable the new symbol generation via the internal Spring index will go away soon. So if you have this feature disabled for some reason, let us know why, so that we can fill in the missing gaps in the new implementation to enable a smooth transition

We continue on our mission to make you as productive as possible building Spring applications in the development environments of your choice. Please welcome Cursor to the list of supported environments - and enjoy coding 😎🥳🚀

With the new logical structure view in @springtools.bsky.social, you can define your own custom stereotypes using annotations as well - and see the view update instantly on save 🚀

It is my pleasure to announce that Spring Boot 4.1.0-M2 is out, building on Spring Framework 7.0.5. Key updates: - Config import encoding. - Enhanced Actuator info. - Jackson factory properties. - RabbitMQ Streams support. spring.io/blog/2026/02...

The new logical structure view in the @springtools.bsky.social does not only group things in well-known pre-defined stereotypes. You can bring your own custom stereotypes and include them in the structure as well, for example by defining them in catalog files 🚀

Did you know that you can influence the grouping of the elements in the new logical structure view? Click on the grouping icon on the project node and select which groups you would like to enable/disable - and the view will automatically update accordingly 😎

Spring Data 2026.0.0-M1 released Be my typed Valentine: Spreading some love for refactoring- and type-safe queries. spring.io/blog/2026/02...

In 2026, the #Spring team is specifically focused on performance optimizations. Thanks to a collaboration between Rossen Stoyanchev, David Syer, and Violeta Georgieva, we were able to improve peak throughput by 8% on a typical enterprise web application.

The new logical structure view for your Spring Boot projects is based on the stereotypes concept of JMolecules. And stereotype nodes in the structure view allow you to quickly navigate to the corresponding catalog file - in case you wonder how the stereotype definition looks like 🧐

Already using Spring Modulith in your Spring Boot projects? The new logical structure view in @springtools.bsky.social supports it right out of the box 🚀

Always super interesting and inspiring to listen to thoughts from the team behind @vscode.dev, which is definitely one of the most brilliant teams in the world when it comes to developer tooling: softwareengineeringdaily.com/2026/01/06/v...

Spring AI's MCP Security project landed on Spring Initializr! Whether you're working on MCP Servers, MCP Clients, or an MCP-compliant Authorization Server - the @spring.io team's got you covered. The project lives on Github: github.com/spring-ai-co... (@starbuxman.joshlong.com made me do it 🙃)

Would like to get a unique overview of your Spring Boot projects from a Spring perspective? The completely new logical structure view in @springtools.bsky.social is here for you 🚀🥳 It is definitely one of the most anticipated new features of the Spring Tools 5 generation. Enjoy! 😎

Support for Spring Modulith is part of the @springtools.bsky.social for quite some time now, for example checking for invalid references to non-exposed types (as you type) 😎😃

I'll be speaking next week at VoxxedDays CERN about Spring Boot, performance and Project Leyden. Come join me if you're interested! vdc26.voxxeddays.ch/talk/superch...

Spring Data introduced the awesome AOT compiled repositories feature in their 2025.1 release, and the @springtools.bsky.social 5 release takes full advantage of that, bringing insights right into the editor, incl. generated query statements, jump the implementation, and more... 😎

Using Spring Webflux and "old style" static RouterFunctions methods to define routes in code? We have some good news for you! Whenever we detect this in the source code, there is now a nice little code action showing up that tells the AI assistant in your IDE to convert this for you 🥳🚀😎

🚀 Spring AI 2.0.0-M2 is here! ✨ Highlights: - Anthropic Custom Skills support, - Null-safe API with JSpecify, - New vector stores: S3, Infinispan, Bedrock KB, - Redis Semantic Cache, - Structured outputs for Mistral AI & Ollama, - MCP SDK 0.17.2 and bug fixes spring.io/blog/2026/01...

🥁📢 Spring Modulith 2.1 M1, 2.0.2, and 1.4.7. The milestone upgrades to Boot 4.1 M1 and adds support to reset the time machine and to skip all tests in case our JUnit integration detects no changes to the project. Grab it while it's 🔥! 🍃📦 #SpringModulith

And we released the first milestone of 4.1.0! spring.io/blog/2026/01... @spring.io #spring #springboot #java

And in case you have API versioning configured, the @springtools.bsky.social check whether the mentioned version is syntactically correct... 🚀🥳

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

New in Spring Tools 5: controllers now show up with a code lens that summarizes the web configuration that you have in place for the project - and allows you to quickly navigate to it - very useful, especially in combination with the new API versioning support in Spring Framework 7 🥳 🚀

Spring Framework 7 comes with an improved way to functionally register bean definitions using the BeanRegistrar interface - and Spring Tools 5 has already support for this built-in, incl. understanding bean definitions + checking and adding matching import annotations 🥳🚀😎

Let me introduce you to another new validation in the Spring Tools: it reminds you that you should not try to define the path in the controller annotation itself - and as a bonus, comes with the corresponding quick fix 🥳

Did you see the new validations that shipped as part of the recent Spring Tools 5 release? One of them is checking for the correct type when using `@Value` with a classpath resource 🥳
