Groovy and HTTPBuilder

Friday, October 23rd, 2009


HTTPBuilder (http://groovy.codehaus.org/modules/http-builder/home.html) looks like a great library for working with RESTful webservices.

Oh I’m sore.

Installing Springsource Tool Suite (STS) in Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo)

Saturday, October 17th, 2009


I’m really interested in seeing the Grails and Groovy work that has been including in STS 2.2.1. I followed the instructions here: http://blog.springsource.com/2009/06/24/installing-sts-into-eclipse-35/, but unfortunately I got stuck at step 6. It kept asking for a mylyn feature group 3.3.0I20091013,3.4.0.

Ugh!

No doubt installing it now has caused the instructions to go out of date.  Fortunately at http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/downloads/ there were a bunch of weekly updates.  After adding the weekly update sites to eclipse:

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/weekly/e3.4  and http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/weekly/extras

This enabled me to install STS.

UPDATE

If you want to install STS on Eclipse.  Visit this page:  http://www.springsource.com/products/eclipse-downloads.  It will give you a current version of Eclipse 3.5.1.  Run Update on it, then install the STS link update.
