A couple of related concepts.

• since autowiring can create exceptions if type or name resolution fails, this would be a great way to identify problems early on.

• closely related is that those of us who use Pitchfork would love to see the @EJB annotation linked into the graph as well. After all, @EJB is just another flavor of @Autowire

Work has been started on this. Thanks for Jared for providing a working implementation.

Please find a new feature in the "Extensions (Incubation)" category on Spring IDE's update site (nightly for now).

Moving this issue to later version as we currently still miss some features.

Thanks for job guys But I would like to ask about 3 features I am long waiting for:

1. Will the @Resource annotation be supported as well?
2. Will the @Component and other annotations with classpath scanning be supported?
3. Will it be possible to navigate to dependency injected by @Autowired/@Resource, by e.g. Ctrl+Click ?

This is now being tracked in:

STS-177: As a user, I want browse, navigate and validate my Spring autowired configurations
https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-177

Please add your comments and votes to this.

Thanks, Christian
