SpringSource Tool Suite is basically Eclipse IDE Java or Java EE edition with the following additional features preinstalled:
- M2Eclipse for Maven integration
- Extensive Spring tooling support for most, if not all, Spring Portfolio projects
- Spring Roo integration
- SpringSource tc Server (a rebranded, polished version of Apache Tomcat)
- SpringSource dm Server (OSGi-capable application server)
- Groovy support (optional)
Of course, there are alternatives:
- NetBeans IDE
- Eclipse Java EE
- IntelliJ IDEA (commercial, Community Edition available)
Hendy, thanks for your feedback about STS.
ReplyDeleteRE bundled Subversion integration: due to licensing restrictions of SVNKit (a component that this usually required for Subclipse or Subversive) we can't bundle Subversion integration plugins with STS.
We are currently working on this and will hopefully be able to bundle Subversion support soon. You may also find the following JIRA interesting:

New commercial offering to the Spring market include MyEclipse for Spring and MyEclipse Bling (for IBM WebSphere shops). Both products use proprietary technologies that allows for Spring code-assist, scaffolding, auto code generation, multiple project bootstrapping (like iphone, Flex, Spring MVX, GAE, more...).
