When choosing File > new Spring Project > Simple Spring Maven I cannot select the latest Spring version under 'select spring version:'.
Options are 3.0.7, 3.1.4, 3.2.3 or default.
Why am I not able to choose 4.2.2.RELEASE version ? Should I do it manually in the pom.xml everytime I start a new project ?
Thanks!
There are two wizards you can use 'New Spring Project' and 'New Spring Starter Project'. Maybe the names are a little confusing. So let me explain.
The 'New Spring Project' is the 'old', 'legacy' wizard.
The 'New Spring Starter' one is the more modern wizard.
The old wizard really should have been removed when we created the new one. But as some folks using STS are really conservative and want to keep using it the wizard is still there. As its an old wizard, it uses old-style template projects which use old spring framework versions.
If you want something more modern, try the other wizard it creates an empty project using Spring Boot and up-to-date versions of spring framework.

I have the latest version of Eclipse and am creating a basic Spring Boot Web project.
When I use the New -> ... -> New Maven Project and use the dialog to browse Maven Central for the Spring-Boot-Starter-Web artifact it isn't listed.
Why is Eclipse not listing it?
The configured repository is https://repo1.maven.org/maven2 (Maven Central) which is where Spring-Boot-Starter-Web is meant to reside. (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter-web/2.2.4.RELEASE)
I know how to use https://start.spring.io/ to create a spring boot start application so my question is not about how to create one.
What I want to know is what is it about Eclipse, or Maven, that prevents the Spring Boot Starters showing up. I am concerned that there may be plenty of other artefacts that are not visible here and would like to understand the rational for this so I can anticipate what may not be visible.
I appreciate I'm assuming here that a logical reason exists and apologises if it has more to do with how Eclipse feels about things to do with Spring Framework.
You can add in Eclipse from the Help -> Eclipse Marketplace the Spring tools plugin (probably you'll find a newer version of the plugin):
After install it, you'll be able to create a Spring Boot project managing the dependencies at creation time. Select Spring Boot -> Spring Starter Project:
Then you can select which maven dependencies to add:
it lists certain Maven archetype which Spring Boot starters aren't.
It's that simple.
Also, if you have archetypes (e.g. your company makes its own) you can add them to the list of archetypes known to your IDE.
Here i am working in Spring boot in Spring tool Suite.I want to convert an Oracle databse tables to JPA Class Entites. But i did not get any JPA tools in project_folder ->jpa tools. What i have to do can you please suggest a better solution. Thanks
Create a JPA project like so
File -> New -> JPA Project(Go to Others if JPA projects is not here)
After you have created your JPA project you can right click the project in the Project Explorer
Project Explorer -> Right-Click -> JPA Tools -> Generate Entities from Tables
Hope this helps.
Update 1
If you are not getting options of creating a JPA project in your eclipse you might not be having the required tools for JPA support. Check this.
You can go to "Install New Software", select the Eclipse Oxygen Update
Site, and then search for the JPA tooling - and install it from there.
This brings back the JPA tooling.
In order to Install New Software, go to Help\Install New Software..., select the Eclipse Oxygen Update Site: https://download.eclipse.org/releases/oxygen/, and then search for the JPA tooling.
Eclipse Projects created as 'Spring Boot - Spring Starter Project' are not-faceted projects per default. Therefore there don't have the JPA-facet which offers the Wizzard to generate JPA entities from tables.
You need to add the JPA-Project Facet to your project.
Project > Properties > Project Facets > JPA
If your project is not configured to use project facets, you'll get a message asking if you want to convert it to a faceted project.
Help -> Install New Software -> work with https://download/eclispe.org/releases/2019-03 -> filter 'JPA' ->
Uncheck 'Contact all update sites during install to find required software'
Try installing Jboss toll from marketplace, I had same issue and it is fixed now.
I installed Spring Tool Suite(STS) for Eclipse to eclipse 3.7 and the installation was successful.
Unfortunately,
there is no Spring Project option in the Menu File->New;
only a Spring Roo Project option in the Menu File->New->Other.
How can I create a Spring Template Project?
Do I have to install Spring IDE again?
file > new > "Spring Project" is not there with 3.7.2; in order to see Spring Templates I did the following selections:
File > New > Spring Legacy Project
or
File > New > Project > Spring Legacy Project
Both gives you all the Spring Templates:
Simple Projects
- Simple Java
- Simple Java Maven
- Simple Java Web Maven
- ....
- ....
- Spring MVC Project
Not require.
There are two options you can use sts tool.
1. You can use STS tool plugin in eclipse
2. You can directly download STS tool from https://spring.io/tools/sts/all
In both the options it will give you the option to select the new Spring project what ever based on your requirment.
Is it correct that STS does allow me to select spring framework version 4 when I create a new "Spring Framework" project ?
I have version 3.6.3.SR1 of the Spring Tool Suite.
Looks like some wizards are and may not allow to select the latest Spring Framework from the UI. You can still open pom.xml once the project is created and fix the Spring Framework version in it.
It is advised to use the new "Create Spring Starter Project" wizard available from the Dashboard as well as from the standard File -> New.
I recently completed the SpringCore training but never got this answer. I want to know the best possible way to create Dynamic Web Project in STS/Eclipse that supports Maven and Spring 3+
Is it to use the wizard and create a Dynamic Web Project then add Maven support and Spring Behavior?
Is it to use the wizard and create a Maven project and use archetype webapp then add Spring support?
Is it to use the wizard and create a Spring project add the Java EE project facet and Maven Support?
Is it something totally different?
I choose to create first dynamic web project, then add spring behavior and finally to build the project i am using maven.. which is really a powerfull tool.
