I finally decided to give SpringSource Tool Suite(STS) a try this morning, only to find that it is not compatible with the current version of Eclipse I'm using.(3.6)
So, before making another attempt, I thought I would asks you guys if it's worth getting it.
Usually I'm not a big fan of adding a heavy weight plug-in like STS to my Eclipse IDE because of compatibility and upgrade issues, but the amount of XML I'll have to write kind of scared me, so that's why I made an exception to it.
Does STS indeed make your programming experience with Spring much easier, or can you make do without it? Also how stable is it? For example, I had a few crashes while using the JPA feature of the Eclipse JEE and I'm not using it any more because of that.
Thanks!
