Any suggestions?


Solution

  • The branding feature is nothing that you should install into an existing Eclipse installation. It provides the product branding for the Spring Tools 4 distribution and does not provide any functionality beyond that.

    If you want to install the Spring Tools 4 into an existing Eclipse installation, you can:

    Another way would be to download the ready-to-use distribution from https://spring.io/tools, which comes with the latest Eclipse release included and Spring Tools 4 pre-installed.
