Our team has 7 subscriptions to MyEclipse, and we would like to use the now-free SpringSource Tool Suite (http://blog.springsource.com/2009/05/07/springsource-tool-suite-now-free/) with MyEclipse. In other words, we would like to use STS in place of the Spring support bundled with MyEclipse. Here’s how I installed MyEclipse and STS:

(1) Unzip the STS download, which contains Eclipse 3.4.x
(2) Download and install MyEclipse 7.x using the Archive method with Spring-related components excluded from the install.

However, installing MyEclipse on top of STS seemed to wipe out its features. Could you please recommend a way to make MyEclipse work with STS?

Thanks,
Chinchih

Chinchih,
MyEclipse does not support STS.
You can refer to http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-23553-highlight-sts.html

STS has more features than the Spring Support bundled with MyEclipse. Is there a way to way to use STS together with MyEclipse?

chinchih,

Currently we don’t support STS. We might provide support for STS in our 8.0 version. Sorry about that.
You can try doing this – Install Eclipse 3.4.1 Classic add STS and MyEclipse as plugins. (Please note this is a suggestion, I have not tested this approach. I don’t need to use STS :-). This might work for you)

I have tried that — installing STS then installing MyEclipse as plugin — but MyEclipse “overwrites” the Spring support from STS.

As I said before MyEclipse currently doesn’t support STS. My last recommendation would be to add this to Feature Request here – https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/myeclipse/feature-requests/
Depending on the number of persons requesting a particular feature, management ups its priority.

There is now a thread in the features request area for this. You can go add your voice to the request and maybe the feature will make it into the product.

Thank you Hamlin. I have escalated your feature request to our management.
