Will AI make Java IDEs obsolete? @martinlippert.bsky.social (Spring Tools) joins The Marco Show to discuss AI coding agents, developer tools, and the future of Java development. 🎥 https://youtu.be/gUm6DOf1NHI

Thanks again @intellijidea.com and Marco for inviting me to the show. It was a giant pleasure to be part of this.

Are IDEs becoming obsolete? We asked @martinlippert.bsky.social (Spring Tools Lead) how AI, Cursor, and coding agents are changing developer workflows, and what's still irreplaceable. 🎥 Watch: youtu.be/gUm6DOf1NHI

Out now: Spring Tools for Claude Code 🥳🚀🎉 In case you haven't seen this, 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: github.com/spring-proje...

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

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: www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5eh...

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 🚀🥳

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 😀

Three races in 8 days, probably a little too much… 😉 The race today went fine, but the tank was pretty empty during the run. But nevertheless, I made it to the finish line - and now need to recover, recover, and recover 🫠🥴

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 😎🥳 @spring-ai.bsky.social

Ready for the next race 💪☀️

The version validation got a new option: in addition to fetching GA version information from spring.io, you can switch to a repository-based resolution, so if you have a company-internal or commercial repository configued, you will see validations based on those versions directly in your IDE 🥳🚀

Being invited to this weeks Softwarearchitektur im Stream: "Zwischen KI-Hype und KI-Vampire - wie wir den Einsatz von KI im Alltag erleben", will chat with @ralfdmueller.bsky.social about how AI changes the way we work and how that changes us - live on Friday, June 19 software-architektur.tv

Let’s go…

Up to now, the preparation for this years triathlon season went reasonably well, including several great 10k races along the way and an awesome half marathon in Hamburg in April (with a new PB for that distance 🥳 ). Now looking forward to the first olympic distance triathlon on Sunday in Lübeck 😎🏊🚴🏃

"Deep insights and ready for AI - Spring Tools 5 in Action" - the recording of my talk at JCON 2026 about the Spring Tools in action is now online: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeR4... 😎🥳

🥁📢 Spring Modulith 2.1 GA, 2.0.7, and 1.4.12 released. 2.1 ships with a new outbox mode for event externalization and support for combined horizontal and vertical slice tests. Grab it while it's 🔥! 🍃📦 #SpringModulith

Spring Boot 4.1.0 available now! spring.io/blog/2026/06... See the blog post for the highlights! #java #spring #springboot

Spring Tools 5.2.0 released for @vscode.dev, Cursor, Eclipse Java IDE 2026-06, Theia IDE - and Claude Code now - download from spring.io/tools - for more details: github.com/spring-proje...

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. 👀

🥁📢 We are going to ship a significant number of security fixes in the releases coming next week. Be prepared to upgrade your apps as quickly as possible. 🍃

AI is transforming open-source security at unprecedented scale. We've reviewed every report and addressed what matters. May's release train moves to June 8–14 — upgrade to the latest Spring patches and stay protected. 🔐 spring.io/blog/2026/06...

🚀 Spring AI 2.0.0-M8 is out! This milestone brings improved Mistral AI Jackson mapping, and key bug fixes — including the OpenAI API no auth key and transitive auto-configuration dependency issues. More details on: spring.io/blog/2026/05...

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 🚀😎

The language server inside the Spring Tools is built as 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... 😀🚀

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

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 AI 1.0.7, 1.1.6, and 2.0.0-M6 are out! 🚀 These releases include improvements, bug fixes, and documentation updates. More details on this here: spring.io/blog/2026/05...

”Spring – The Documentary“ is live! 🤩🫶🍃

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 🥳😎

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 😎

This week, the Green Software Hamburg Meetup series will take a look at how AI is used to improve resource efficiency at the University of Applied Sciences: www.meetup.com/de-DE/green-...

The next Green Software Meetup Hamburg is coming up tomorrow: David Kopp will talk about the tool landscape in this area. Don't forget to register: www.meetup.com/de-de/green-...

Every release introduces new quick fixes to make your life easier when working with Spring projects. This time, we added a quick fix to easily add a configuration class to your Spring Cloud LoadBalancer client annotation - in case this link is missing. Enjoy! 🥳😎

One of the fixes in the recent @springtools.bsky.social release that reduces cognitive load and clutter on the UI: having multiple component-defining annotations on the same class doesn't cause multiple bean symbols being created anymore - for a more precise, clean, and easy-to-use experience 😀

And so it begins… blog.mozilla.org/en/privacy-s...

In preparation of "final" really meaning final in an upcoming Java version (see JEP 500), we added a validation that flags the use of final on autowired fields, which works today, but most likely not anymore in the near future - and is not really the recommended way to use autowired anyway 😉 😎

Behind every release are months of obsessing over details. 🚀 While you're building with Spring 7/Boot 4, we’re sharing the "why." This @infoq.com interview covers API versioning, Jakarta EE 11, AI, tooling, and what’s next. Full story: www.infoq.com/articles/spr... #SpringFramework #SpringBoot

The official trailer www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qTw...

Spring Tools 5.1.2 patch release for @vscode.dev, @cursor.com.web.brid.gy, Theia IDE available now - for more details: github.com/spring-proje... (no updates to the Eclipse-based tools included)

Do you prefer nicely formatted text blocks for your query annotations when using Spring Data? @springtools.bsky.social has an option now to produce exactly those when turning repository AOT metadata into query annotations 😍

#InfoQ dives deep into #SpringFramework 7 & #SpringBoot 4. Key Focus: the shift toward core resilience by integrating features such as retry and concurrency throttling directly into the framework, alongside the performance benefits of modularizing auto-configurations. 🔗 bit.ly/4vmqb6S #Java

The mission of the team in one picture. Proud to be part of this journey with amazing friends and colleagues. 🤗🚀

Good morning #SpringIO2026 🍃

Spring I/O 2026 is here 🍃🚀 #springio @springio.net

A keynote going in depth about TDD and scenario testing? Only at #springio26 🥰🎆, where SpringFramework gurus like @odrotbohm.de dive into the framework.

At @springio.net keynote, Rossen shares how Spring embraces Virtual Threads, Structured Concurency, and what is coming in Spring Framework 7.1+ to support streaming on Spring MVC stack (RestClient server-sent events for example), as well as related performance improvements. #java #springio26
