Good news: we fixed an issue that caused inner class records to show up as bean definitions - so in case you came across this in the past, make sure to update to the latest release π
Bringing more Spring smartness to your coding agent doesn't stop with diagnostics, it comes with the corresponding quick fixes for those observations as well - now as skills and explanation markdowns that tell the agent precisely how to improve the code and fix the issue π
Our extension for Claude Code can tell your agent what seems to be wrong with your project from a Spring perspective by deliverung diagnostics information directly to the agent - pretty nice to safe tokens and to enhance the agent with more Spring smartness ππ₯³
Our extension for Claude Code comes with a nice little skill that integrates Spring Initializr into Claude Code, making it super easy to create new Spring Boot projects right from within Claude Code... ππ
Out now: Spring Tools for Claude Code π₯³ππ We added Claude Code to the family of supported coding environments - bringing Spring related tools and skills to Claude Code. All early stages and experimental, but feel free to give it a try: github.com/spring-projects/sβ¦

And the quick fix can not just convert individual references, but several in one go π₯³
If you would like to know more about type-safe property references in Spring Data, there is a great talk by Mark Paluch, the awesome brain behind this, from Spring IO 2026 about this: youtube.com/watch?v=f5ehQCijβ¦
Not using the new type-safe property references in Spring Data yet? We are here to help π. Introducing a new validation that flags string-based property references automatically - and provides a quick fix to switch to the new mechanism ππ₯³
If you are building MCP servers with Spring AI, having a good tool description can be key for an LLM to pick the right one. So we added a validation that checks for a (configurable) minimum length - just as a first indicator π
The new support for Spring AI in the Spring Tools starts with indexing the Spring AI annotations and giving you a nice overview in the outline view as well as the symbols navigation ππ₯³ @SpringAICentral
The version validation got a new option: in addition to fetching GA version information from spring.io, you can switch to a repository-based resolution, so if you have a company-internal or commercial repository configued, validations run against those versionsπ₯³π

The next Spring Tools release is dropping next week. And it comes with something we're genuinely excited about that maybe surprises you - or maybe not. π Can't wait to ship it. Stay tuned. π
Speaking of performance, we also removed the initial delay when opening the new logical structure view in VSCode for the first time. The content now shows up almost instantly ππ
The language server inside the Spring Tools is a Spring Boot application, so we went ahead and integrated the option to create a Project Leyden based AOT cache to improve startup speed and reduce memory consumption of the language server process. Feel free to give it a try ππ
Just in case something from the Spring Tools isn't working as expected and you would like to submint an issue and attach some logs: we made it a lot easier to configure the log level and the log destination when working inside of Eclipse
