Hello there,

I imported a Spring Project (I can tell that by the "S" letter at the top left of project name).
Unfortunatelly, I cannot open the Spring Explorer for my project.
When I want to see the Project Properties -> Spring, an error message box appears, but no intelligible message is displayed, besides that it's about some error.
In the error log, I can see the following traces:

Message :Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.jface".

Hi,

this error has been fixed in Spring IDE a long time ago. Unfortunately MyEclipse still depends on a very outdated version of Spring IDE for its Spring support.

When will we get a more recent version of Spring IDE, one that provides Spring 3.0 support?

MyEclipse for Spring already has boostrapping and scaffolding support for Spring 3.0, and an update to latest version of Spring IDE is in the works. We should have it ready for the next release of MyEclipse for Spring.
