Which version of eclipse supports STS plugins?

582 views Asked by At

I have eclipse-jee-neon-3. I tried to install STS (Spring tool suit plugin) from eclipse marketplace but it's not showing STS plugins. Can anyone please tell which version of eclipse will support STS plugins or how to run spring-boot application on eclipse-jee-neon-3.

Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse extensions are available from the Eclipse marketplace for the most recent Eclipse versions and I would strongly recommend to use the latest Eclipse release as a base.

Eclipse JEE Neon is way too old to be supported here.

If you are required to stay on Eclipse Neon (for whatever reason), the latest release that supported that version of Eclipse was STS 3.9.4 and you could use this p2 repo URL to install it manually into an Eclipse from back then:

https://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/update/3.9.4.RELEASE/e4.6

But keep in mind that this version is not supported anymore and there isn't even a Spring Tools 4 version around that is compatible with Eclipse Neon (from 2016).
