Beans Configuration Support Wishlist

• Spring-aware XML editor (like Eclipse's Ant build file editor) which supports Spring DTD content assists for Spring DTD, class files, property names, generating template bean definitions from bean introspection, ...

• Graph editor for Spring beans config files which supports drag'n drop, wizards, ...

• Support auto-wired and constructor-injected relationships in graph editor (+1 - Seth Ladd)

• Presentation of aspects and what beans/methods they advise in graph editor

• Smarter understanding of the values of the <value> tags. For instance, matching the viewName from a Controller to the views.xml file. Spring IDE should handle this, which would be really nice. Or when a <value> contains a class, but as a String (as is the case of setting commandClass on a Controller)

• validate bean references, serveral config files as a Set.

• "new web project" wizard to create a standard Spring-enabled web project, including configured web.xml file, jars copied to WEB-INF/lib, default files for applicationContext.xml and name-servlet.xml, taglib settings, etc.
