Unable to open Spring source tool suite - spring

I installed SpringSource Tool Suite after which I was alerted that I hadn't set the JAVA_HOME. The installation was successful by then, so I closed the suite and set the java_home.
But now I don't find any way to open the suite. No shortcut in desktop or start menu.
How to open it?
Or should I re-install it?

In windows 7 go to Start > search program and files and type spring then in the results you will find Spring Tool Suit.
Else if you remember the installation path, to there you can find the STS.exe file

I face the same issue, was unable to open STS because of the Lombok path .inc file of STS.
remove the path and start.
Suggestion
if you added some external project like Lombok and did not install properly and you removed that project due to some reason then you must remove the path from the inc STS file.

UNABLE TO CREATE A NEW SPRING STARTER PROJECT

I'm not able to create a spring starter project in sts tool(spring tool suite).
While trying to create a new spring starter project then I have received the "Artifact transfer exception" error.
And also I have attached the screen shot for the same.
Can you help on this.
Try spring initializer (https://start.spring.io/), just substitute your values, then click generate, unarchive project and open, and all must works.
Acoording to the link that Stephen C said in his comment:
m2eclipse issues ArtifactTransferException - But pom.xml compiles / installs from the command line
Open folder by running this text (without Quotes) in Search Explorer of Window “%USERPROFILE%.m2″.
After running above command, “m2″ folder of maven will open. Now search for file (without Quotes) “*.lastUpdated”.
In this step, delete all the files found by running Step 2.
Now go to Eclipse project and select “Maven | Update Dependency” or “Maven | Update Project”.

Lombok with Spring Tool Suite 4

I've recently installed the new Spring Tool Suite 4 in macOS High Sierra but when I tried to run Lombok's installation it wouldn't find my STS installation,
I followed this steps for manual installation (adding -javaagent to the ini file) but with no luck: https://www.edvpfau.de/sts-spring-tool-suite-4-mit-lombok/.
Any idea?
I did install Lombok in Spring Tool Suite 4 just some days ago for Mac and Windows.
And none problems.
One:
Execute java -jar lombok.jar
Note: normally or by default, it does not find the installer, it is the common scenario in my experience.
Two:
Press the Specify Location button. Therefore proceed to find and select the STS.ini file. It could be SpringToolSuite4.ini too.
Note: for Mac, go to the Contents directory within the .app file
Conclusion: therefore for any OS, the goal is find the unique file with the .ini extension
Normally I do this with the IDE closed.
Although this might be late, but it can be of help for others just experiencing this. Bellow is how I solved this issue
STEP 1
Find lombok in your project maven directory -> Right click -> Run As -> Java Application
STEP 2
Click on Specify Location button to choose the path where STS is installed
STEP 3
Go to Application/Contents/Eclipse/SpringToolSuit4.ini Then click on Install -> Quick Installer
STEP 4
Restart STS you good to go
I renamed SpringToolSuite4.exe and SpringToolSuite4.ini to STS.exe and STS.ini. Then used lombok installer's Specify Location to find them. After lombok installed, I renamed those files back to their original names.
I faced same issue with for Spring tool suite 4
Solution
Close running STS.
Open terminal
Go to ~/.m2/repository/org/projectlombok/lombok/version
Run java -jar lombok-version.jar
Pop window will come.
If it does not pick up the STS itself. Then chose specify location
Choose SpringToolSuite4.ini at ⁨Applications⁩ ▸ ⁨SpringToolSuite4⁩ ▸ ⁨Contents⁩ ▸ ⁨Eclipse⁩ .
Click install
After this Starts Spring tool suite and clean project.
Just to add to M. Jordan's and prodigy's answer, please be sure to give execute permission to lombok.jar
(After you follow the above-mentioned step) Open terminal and change directory to the content of SpringToolSuite.app
cd /Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse
Then check whether execute permission is available to lombok.jar
ls -al
If you see -rw-r--r-- it means you need to give execute permission
chmod +x lombok.jar
alternatively you could also do
chmod +x /Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse/lombok.jar
Then restart STS
I'll show you how to completely install lombok into Spring Tool Suite 4 or latest version. First go to your project pom.xml file and add this dependency on dependencies section.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
<artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Go to your project root folder on your IDE and click the right button on it. Select like below:
And make sure, checked Force Update of Snapshots/Releases. Click Ok to download and update dependencies.
After finishing all task. Go to project Maven Dependencies and find lombok.jar file (>Maven Dependencies >lombok.jar). Right click on lombok jar. Go to Run As Java Application.
It will open lombok installer window and click ok. Then click Specify Location button.
Select the location where your STS bundle was installed. If it is selected properly then it will checked STS.exe, like below:
Then click install/update button. Finally lombok will be installed successfully.
Hopefully it helps you. Thanks.
None of the steps worked for me as the file dialog box won't even let me select the directory containing the SpringToolSuite4.ini
So I did the following:
Get lombok-<version>.jar from either your ~/.m2/repository/org/projectlombok/lombok/<latest-version>/
If not available you can get it from mvn repository:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.projectlombok/lombok/1.18.6
copy the lombok-<version>.jar to /Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse as lombok.jar
cp /path/to/lombok.jar /Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse/
Edit the file: /Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse/SpringToolSuite4.ini inside the directory to add this last line:
-javaagent:/Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse/lombok.jar
Open your project in eclipse. Right click on Maven -> update project. Follow similar step if you're using another build tool (like Gradle)
In my case, Lombok 1.16 could not locate STS 4 installation even after pointing to it manually. Worked only after I tried with updated Lombok version - Lombok 1.18.
Turn off STS
Install lombok following other common guidances with jar.
Turn on STS
I spent like 3 or 4 hours looking for a solution to the Lombok problem with springo book and eclipse, the solution I found on the internet was the following, I leave the link: (https://projectlombok.org/all-
versions) where is the entire Lombok version and I chose the latest lombok version then updated the IDE and MVN and everything worked.
For Latest Mac OS Big Sur
Just place lombok jar In Application folder then Follow the steps
folder path /Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse
once you complete all the steps restart your IDE

the easiest way you can do is that by running the following command on command prompt
java -jar (jar location/lombok.1.8.1.jar) install (the path where you installed Spring tool suite(STS))
for example:
java -jar C:\Users\karthick\.m2\repository\org\projectlombok\lombok\1.18.8\lombok-1.18.8.jar install D:\STS_Tool\spring-tool-suite-4-4.1.2.RELEASE-e4.10.0-win32.win32.x86_64\sts-4.1.2.RELEASE
after that, you have to restart the tool.
on macOS Catalina all I had to do was to use lombok 1.18 and all worked fine.
I did it in a different way. just did the below.
Copy the lombok.jar to the root directory of STS
Added "-javaagent:lombok-1.16.18.jar" to the SpringToolSuite4.ini
It worked for me.
I had the same issue with STS-4.6 and lombok-1.18.18 on Windows10. I added lombok dependency to pom.xml, built the project, ran lombok jar in .m2 repository and restarted STS. Building the project did not work. Finally, Project -> Build All worked.
after install lombok project into your eclipse--
Go to the eclipse sts4 folder--
get the permission to the lombok.jar
$chmod +x lombok.jar
then open the eclipse.
Step to add lombok project in your eclipse--
download lombok jar and place one folder.
edit the SpringToolSuite4.ini file which is exist in the eclipse folder.
add three lines in last of file--
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
-javaagent:/spring-tool-suite-4-4.10.0.RELEASE-e4.19.0-linux.gtk.x86_64/sts-4.10.0.RELEASE/plugins/org.projectlombok.agent_1.18.20/lombok.jar
restart the eclipse.
best option is through install new software option built in ecliplse
help>install new software> and add this site https://projectlombok.org/p2
you are good to go
Although this might be late, but it can be of help for others just experiencing this. Bellow is how I solved this issue
STEP 1
Find lombok in your project maven directory -> Right click -> Run As -> Java Application enter image description here
STEP 2 Click on Specify Location button to choose the path where STS is installed
enter image description here
Install -> Install/Update Installer
STEP 3 Go to Application/Contents/Eclipse/SpringToolSuit4.ini Then click on Install/update
STEP 4 Restart STS you good to go
Restart your IDE and Run Project->Update Maven Project and then all your errors will be gone

no executable code found at line intellij 14

I am unable to debug remote applications due to: No executable code at line
I am running ultimate edition of Intellij, version 14.0.3. My application is running inside tomcat 8 and i'm building it from the command line using Maven. This problem appeared after i switched from the community edition to the ultimate edition.
Project sources are the same and I am able to connect to tomcat for remote debugging. The only issue is that all my breakpoints are invalidated.
Please advice on how to fix this issue.
Cheers.
Remove all IDEA related project files and open the project by the .pom file.
I've had the same problem. Simply compile the directory that the class resides, and the debugger will pick up the break point.
I had the same problem and I implemented a similar solution.
Remove all IDEA related project files and open the project by the .pom file.
I use Gradle for my projecto, so i removed the project from intellij and then reimported it.
I hope others could read it and helps them
if you are developing an Atlassian plug-in and connected to the server via remote debug, run atlas-package to sync deployed plug-in and your source code.
If you are running a maven project execute the following commands in cmd prompt.
mvn clean install
mvn compile
This will resolve the problem.
The solution that worked for me is much more embarrassing. I put the breakpoint on the wrong line.
You see two breakpoints, first one is working and the second one is complaining about "no executable code ...".
It turns out there really is no executable code, just a string.

STS hanging when I open a project

When I open a Maven project A, the STS hangs.
I have to kill the thread every time and restart the STS.
If I open the project A before other performs in the STS, everything will be ok.
I am using STS 3.4.0.RELEASE.
Any ideas?
Two options
1. Open up a STS.ini which will be located in \home\sts-bundle\sts-3.7.2.RELEASE
and this parameter -STS -clean as shown in the below figure.
2. Also, from the command prompt, use this parameter to start
\home\sts-bundle\sts-3.7.2.RELEASE> STS.exe -clean
I came accross the same error, STS hanged always when I tried to open closed project, always on 'Populating detected configs'. What helped me was disabling project builders/validators in Spring options in preferences.

"PWC6345: There is an error in invoking javac." error when using Jetty WTP plugin to deploy a JSP page on Jetty

I'm trying to deploy a JSP-page on Jetty, using the Jetty WTP plugin for Eclipse. But I get the error below. It looks like Jetty can't find javac. Is there any settings I have to do for the Jetty WTP plugin in Eclipse or how do I fix this?
The JSP page works fine if I export my project as a .war-file to jetty\webapps and then start Jetty manually using java -jar start.jar. But it doesn't work if I deploy using the Jetty WTP plugin for Eclipse as described.
I have my JAVA_HOME set to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_01 and I use Jetty 8.0.4 on Windows 7.
Servlets is working fine with the current setup. Any suggestions on how to solve this for JSP pages?

As Jan Bartel suggested, from Jetty: How to configure JSP:
by adding the line below in the start.ini-file in Eclipse, it works fine.
-Dorg.apache.jasper.compiler.disablejsr199=true
I too happened to suddenly get the org.apache.jasper.JasperException: PWC6345 with my Eclipse installation and the Jetty Maven Plugin (which I use to start up Jetty from within Eclipse).
The reason was that I updated my JDK installation shortly before. Inside Eclipse, this caused to change the "Installed JRE" to point to a plain JRE installation instead of a full-fledged JDK installation. A JDK installation is needed for Jasper, as Jasper needs javac (which is not provided by JRE).
In my case, the solution was to provide Eclipse with the JDK installation. To do so, select Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs. Here, click Add..., then point to your JDK installation (in my case, JRE home should point to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_17). Click Finish. Then back in the Installed JREs overview, remove the old JRE reference and select the newly added JDK installation.
I got the PWC6345 error when running a webapp with Run-Jetty-Run plugin.
The fix was to change the Execution environments settings in Preferences.
Since I'm using java 7 I needed to change the setting for JavaSE-1.7.
Probably other execution environments will behave similarly.
Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs -> Execution environments
Select JavaSE-1.7 on the left -> pick the *jdk*1.7.x_xx on the right hand side
Ok, solved this after a lot of searching around.
Download any jdk and point JAVA_HOME to this jdk.
Inside this jdk folder you will find ./bin and ./jre/bin
Copy the javac from ./bin and paste it in ./jre/bin [remember copy not cut]
Now in eclipse, Run->External-Tools->External-Tools-Configurations, select the build.xml for of your project in the left pane and click on the JRE tab in the right pane.
Click on installed JREs and add the jdk in the previous step.
Once done, select this new JRE (jdk1.6.0_31) as the 'Separate JRE', click on apply at the bottom and run.
This assumes you are doing a jetty:run using ant on eclipse.
Strange because this thread suggests:
The solution was to install the package jdk7-openjdk.
Perhaps this should be added to the list of dependencies (or maybe for jetty, and not solr itself)?
But that doesn't help much on Windows, where the binary for openjdk7 aren't easily available.
(In "OpenJDK availability for Windows OS" comments, eckes mentions having found some openjdk binaries for Windows, as part of the Build b146. However, said releases aren't maintained any more)
The bug report filled by the OP Jonas is closed with a simple reference to the Eclipse wiki page "Jetty/Howto/Configure JSP".
You have planty solutions guys but I thought that it exist a solution better than fix the start.ini
I lived the same problem and then I realize that it may be because I did have a JDK7 for 64bit while I should have a JDK7 for 32.
So I fixed my problem by downloading and use the JDK7 for 32Bit.
Also, you would still need to
Use the JDK and not the JRE
Set your JAVA_HOME
I am running on Windows by the way ...
I have the same problem. When I run where java, the output is:
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\java.exe
Of course the first one is incorrect. So my problem lies in the PATH. I can rectify this by either removing the java.exe in the directory C:\Windows\System32\ because I'm sure it's useless, or putting the second entry in front of the first one.
So When encountering this problem, please check your PATH for the jdk. I hope that my problem and my solution is helpful in some way.
I got the PWC6345 error when running jetty-runner 9.2.1 standalone from Windows 7 cmd (or batch file) with Oracle JDK 1.7.0_60, and none of the other suggestions in this or other forums worked. I'll leave my workaround here, in case it helps someone...
After installing the JDK, running 'where java' showed two different java.exe paths, the first being in the Windows system folder, and the second in the JDK folder (which is the one I added to the path manually). Both of these are actually installed by the same JDK installer. The java.exe in the system folder was taking precedence and causing the full JDK to go undetected.
Placing the JDK bin folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.7.0_60\bin") on the path before the other system paths fixed the issue.
In addition to updating the JAVA_HOME (see above)...
If you're encountering this error from command line (e.g. starting Jetty server from dos window), check where windows is finding the java.exe:
where java
If windows comes back with a path showing to your jre, then check your PATH. Chances are the %PATH% contains a path pointing to the jre instead of jdk.
if you set environment variable JRE_HOME , please unset or delete it
and start server again .
In liferay 7 : I got this error fixed by changing the runtime environment of the server from jre to jre with jdk
I got this error when deploy war package to our server.
My deploy command is (applied web container you may find):
java -jar jetty-runner.jar --port 8020 xx.war
I write this answer because it confused me almost one day. I tried some methods above but failed.
Finally I found there is only jre on my servers but not full jdk.
$ls /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.131-2.b11.el7_3.x86_64
jre
I fix it with searching available jdk and install one.
$yum search java | grep 'java-'
$sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64
(Notice the -devel)
I added this line to 'eclipse.ini' file which is present inside eclipse folder.
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin\javaw.exe
and I also change the JRE path in eclipse
windows -> preferences -> java -> Installed JREs
and provided path upto jdk
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131
I spent good amount of time on this issue, but it turned out to be very simple. All you have to do is:
choose the JDK instead of JRE while configuring the server runtime!
It worked like a champ, I had this issue with glassFish 4.0
