Interface21, builders of the Spring Framework, are partnering with Tasktop Technologies, builders of Eclipse Mylyn, to develop Spring Tool Suite, with the goal of reducing complexity in Java development and maintenance.
Mylyn is an open source, task-focused UI for Eclipse while Spring is a popular open source framework for Java. Building on Eclipse and Mylyn, Spring Tool Suite will simplify the large aggregation of tools used to develop complex enterprise Java applications. This will reduce information overload and streamline developer workflow, Interface21 said.
The suite will support: Spring 2.0 framework features, including namespace-based configurations; Spring Web Flow; tools for Spring AOP (aspect-oriented programming) and Spring Java configuration.
An open source project, Spring Tool Suite is expected to be available in March 2008.
