Spring Tools 4.8.1 发布

Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the 4.8.1 release of the Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse, Visual Studio Code, and Theia.

quick reminder

• the Eclipse-based distribution of the Spring Tools 4 requires a JDK11 (or newer) to run on
• the Eclipse-based distribution ships with an embedded JDK15 runtime, no need to install or configure a specific JDK to run the IDE on anymore

additional changes and fixes

• (Spring Boot) new: Added support for Spring Boot multi-document properties files (#533)
• (Spring Boot) fixed: Support escaping of map keys with ‘[]’ in Spring Boot property yaml files
• (Spring Boot) fixed: Tolerate ‘.[’ for map navigation in .properties file
• (Eclipse) improvement: support container image creation and container deployment of Spring Boot apps without maven wrapper
• (Eclipse) improvement: better process label for live hovers from boot apps running in docker
• (Eclipse) improvement: allow docker-deployed boot apps to find each other (via simple network setup inside of docker)
• (Eclipse) improvement: automatically disable code hotswap when running a Spring Boot app with devtools in debug mode (to avoid conflicts between devtools and hot swap both try to update code in the running process)

• (Eclipse) fixed: do not show breakpoint warning when starting up a Spring Boot app
• (Eclipse) fixed: added missing high-res and dark-mode-compatible icons for docker support in Spring Boot dashboard
