Dear Spring Community,

I'm pleased to announce that the 1.0.3 maintenance release of Spring BlazeDS Integration, the open source solution for building Spring-powered RIAs with Adobe Flex, is now available.

Download | Reference Documentation | JavaDocs | Changelog

Along with a handfull of minor bug fixes targeting some of the new functionality added in 1.0.2, we have back-ported (from the in-progress 1.5M1) the few changes necessary for compatibility with the upcoming BlazeDS 4. This was done to provide the community with a stable release to use when exploring BlazeDS 4 without having to rely on nightly snapshots or milestone releases of Spring BlazeDS Integration 1.5.

As always, I encourage anyone interested to get involved by trying out the release and giving us feedback in the community forum and Jira. We continually get great feedback from people having success with Spring BlazeDS Integration in their projects, and we look forward to hearing more about your experiences.

The latest version of SpringSource Tool Suite (STS) is now available. STS is the best Eclipse-powered development environment for building Spring, Groovy and Grails powered enterprise applications. The new version (2.3.1) is now available for download and uses the latest Eclipse 3.5.2 base. Other features include

• The latest version of tc Server Developer Edition with improvements to the integration with the Spring Insight console.
• Namespace Handlers can now be loaded from the project’s classpath which allows the use of namespaces that are not already known to STS
• Significant performance and memory consumption improvements.

Dear Spring Community,

I'm pleased to announce that the 1.0.2 maintenance release of Spring BlazeDS Integration, the open source solution for building Spring-powered RIAs with Adobe Flex, is now available.

Along with a number of bug fixes and minor enhancements, we have added full support for using Spring Security 3 to secure a Flex application using the same integration mechanisms as we've previously provided only for Spring Security 2.0.x. In order to effectively demonstrate this support, we've added an additional profile to the Test Drive's Maven build that will configure the application to use Spring 3 and Spring Security 3. See the reference guide for details on how to trigger this alternate profile.

As always, I encourage anyone interested to get involved by trying out the release and giving us feedback in the community forum and Jira. We continually get great feedback from people having success with Spring BlazeDS Integration in their projects, and we look forward to hearing more about your experiences. We'll now be shifting focus entirely to version 1.5, which will add support for BlazeDS 4, and will bring with it a number of new features, including an addon for Spring Roo. This is a great time to make yourself heard if you'd like to help shape the future direction of the project.

At the start of May 2009 we announced we were working on a new approach to joint compilation for mixed Java/Groovy projects in Eclipse. We are pleased to now announce the final release of Groovy-Eclipse v2.0.0, based on that new technology. During the months of development we have rebased (and almost entirely rewritten) version 1 of the Groovy-Eclipse plugin, with the goal of offering first class Groovy support in the Eclipse IDE, comparable to the experience Java developers have in Eclipse.

The most important new features that Groovy-Eclipse 2.0.0 provides are:

• a new approach to compiling joint Groovy-Java code that does not require a stub compiler
• advanced and extensible content assist
• vast speed and memory improvements over previous releases
• debug support
• deep integration with the Java Development tools

Also, over 380 bugs have been…
