# Spring Tools

The all-new Spring Tools for Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, and Theia. Learn more at https://spring.io/tools.

## Getting started

### Installation

Depending on your development environment, you can choose between:

- __Visual Studio Code:__ We provide extensions for Visual Studio Code if you prefer this lightweight editor for your development.
- __Cursor:__ We provide extensions for Cursor if you prefer this lightweight editor for agentic development.
- __AI coding agents:__ The Spring Tools Language Server agent plugin provides Spring-aware MCP tools and skills for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI and Codex; OpenCode can connect to the same server over MCP.
- __Spring Tools for Eclipse distribution:__ a ready-to-use distribution of the latest Eclipse Desktop IDE, prepackaged with Spring Tools and a few additional third-party extensions. Download, unpack, and start.
- __Spring Tools for Eclipse extensions:__ you can install the Spring Tools for Eclipse into an existing Eclipse Desktop IDE installation and use it from there.
- __Eclipse Theia:__ You can install the same extensions into Theia-based environments like gitpod.

For all those choices, you can find detailed installation instructions from the user guide:

### Running Claude Code in Docker

To run [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) against this repository in an isolated container
(works for regular checkouts and git worktrees), you need Docker with Compose. From the repository root:

```bash
./docker-claude.sh
```

The first start builds the image. Run `/login` once inside the container (the login is shared by all
checkouts and worktrees), or set `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` on the host beforehand. Set `GH_TOKEN` to use `gh`
inside the container. Your host `~/.m2/repository` is available read-only; Maven writes stay in the container.

The image is not updated automatically. To pick up security updates (JDK, OS packages, Node.js, Claude Code),
rebuild it regularly with `./docker-claude.sh --rebuild` (once per checkout or worktree you use).
Details are in [docker/README.md](docker/README.md).
