Option #3 – RAD with Spring tools added – Now one argument could be “we have already ‘paid’ for RAD so is it possible to just add the Spring tools to it?” Unfortunately I believe the answer is no. Although things like the mobile tools in MyEclipse Bling look interesting, let’s keep looking. But typically MyEclipse simply combines other plug-ins that are freely available, adds a few extra bells and whistles, and charges a modest yearly subscription.
Option #2 – MyEclipse Bling – I’ll admit that since MyEclipse Bling is not free I haven’t really worked with it much. Option #1 – RAD without installing Spring tools – Obviously, between the cost of RAD and the fact that there would be no Spring-specific tools, this is the least desirable. Read the rest to see the “Winner” and how to set it up! Eclipse with WebSphere and Spring tools installed.MyEclipse Bling (WebSphere “Blue” tools and Spring).So while developing our Spring 3.0 classes for WebSphere I wanted to take a fresh look at what would be the best environment for this. I’ve blogged about that before but that was without Spring tools. Now recently, IBM released FREE Eclipse tools so you can control and deploy to a WebSphere server directly from Eclipse, something that used to require RAD. You also had some choices from MyEclipse for WebSphere and Spring tools but those weren’t free. Doing Spring development in RAD was never a great fit since you couldn’t use the Spring Eclipse plug-ins that were available from SpringSource. In the past, the downside has always been that WebSphere development required Rational Application Developer (RAD). Spring has been a very popular framework and WebSphere a very popular server so it has always been a popular choice for our clients. One of the things that has always set our Spring training apart is that we offer options to develop Spring applications for WebSphere (in addition to other classes that use JBoss or Tomcat). Lately I’ve been working quite a bit on expanding the classes available in our Spring 3.0 category.
