What to Download
For starting developing with SMARTIT Eclipse Spring, simply add all required plug-ins plus the latest version of the SMARTIT Eclipse Spring Core to your Eclipse installation.
Required Plug-ins
In addition to a viable Eclipse 3.x installation, the SMARTIT Eclipse Spring plug-ins require the following third party plug-ins to be installed:
- SMARTIT Eclipse Spring no longer provides its own plug-in for Apache Commons Logging; the org.apache.commons_logging plug-in from the Eclipse Webtools Project is used now.
- Spring framework JARs, wrapped in an Eclipse plug-in: org.springframework_2.0.5.zip (2367155 bytes)
Note that the Spring plug-in is not considered to be part of the SMARTIT Eclipse Spring distribution and you have to check the license text which is included in the plug-in.
You can simply unzip the ZIP file into your ECLIPSE_HOME directory.
Alternatively, you can create the above plug-in yourself by downloading the respective library from the Spring Framework website and wrapping them into a plug-in of the specified name. Please refer to the Eclipse documentation for how to wrap JAR libraries into a plug-in.

Prerequisites for previous versions
