Description

Expected Behavior

Find at the official documentation the complete relation of features/items/configurations that are only available on STS and not in plain Eclipse. For example the Boot Dashboard view and some items available on the Run Configurations dialog window such as Spring Boot App and Spring Boot Devtools Client

and even including the respective tutorial of use - it of course for the non-obvious situations, such as Spring Boot Devtools Client. How to use it?

Current Behavior

Does not exist that kind of information at https://github.com/spring-projects/sts4/wiki

Context

  • How has this issue affected you?

I want to know what are all the "tools" only available by STS4 itself and therefore learn how to use each one. For example Spring Boot Devtools Client, but there is no official documentation for both scenarios.

It could be funny, but could exists a valuable feature available by STS4 and I am not aware about that. Consider new developers testing this wonderful IDE :)

  • What are you trying to accomplish?

Use in peace all the tools available by STS4 itself to improve and help my development work

  • What other alternatives have you considered?

Using Google, but does not exist data about this

  • Are you aware of any workarounds?

Playing with the IDE ...

Research direction

Start with the official documentation and the STS4 Wiki, then inventory STS-only features such as the Boot Dashboard and the Spring Boot App and Spring Boot Devtools Client entries in the Run Configurations dialog. Done means the Wiki contains a complete relation of STS-only features, items, and configurations, with tutorials for non-obvious tools.
