About:
Spring Tools for Eclipse enhances the Eclipse IDE with specialized features for developing Spring Boot applications. It provides intelligent code completion, real-time validation, and visual dashboards for Spring-specific configurations. This tooling accelerates development by offering deep insights into your application's structure and behavior directly within your IDE.

Key Features:

Live application metrics and insights
Enhanced code navigation and refactoring
Spring Boot launch and debugging tools
YAML and properties file support

Use Cases:

Building new Spring Boot microservices
Debugging complex Spring configuration issues
Migrating legacy Spring applications to modern versions

Alternatives:

IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate – Provides similar Spring support but is a paid, full-featured IDE rather than a plugin for Eclipse.
VS Code with Spring Boot Extension Pack – A lighter-weight editor-based alternative for those who prefer VS Code over Eclipse.
