The Eclipse Indigo (3.7) M6a packages are available for download from Eclipse since a few days, so its time for us to allow you to use the SpringSource Tool Suite (STS) on top of that milestone version. :-)

Its just an early access version of STS, but we managed to get all the pieces together for Eclipse 3.7: An AJDT version for Eclipse 3.7, a Groovy-Eclipse version that runs of 3.7 and the SpringSource Tool Suite itself, of course, containing Spring IDE, Grails tooling and all the other nice features you know from STS - all now also running on top of the latest Eclipse Indigo milestones.

How to install

• Download and install Eclipse Indigo (3.7) M6a for Java EE Developers.
• Download the bookmarks.xml and import that to your list of update sites (Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Update Sites -> Import).
• Go to "Install New Software" and select SpringSource Tool Suite for Eclipse 3.7: http://dist.springsource.com/snapshot/TOOLS/nightly/e3.7.
• Select the components you would like to use and install.
• Restart and use STS on Eclipse 3.7.

The necessary dependencies for STS are all available from the composite update site: http://dist.springsource.com/snapshot/TOOLS/composite/e3.7, if you wanna add something manually.

We also included the installation instructions for 3.7 in the "Installing from the Nightly Snapshot Update Site" section of the installation instructions for STS…
