A precision refactor in Spring Tools and a sharp security fix force a triple-check on your build.

Spring Tools is rewiring its PreciseBean refactoring onto JDT [1], a move that promises to harden your IDE's rename and type analysis. Meanwhile, Martin Lippert is shipping validations and quick fixes for scope annotations [2] and @RestController conversions , so watch for new code assists on your next save. Over in Spring Security, a fix now allows null servlet request and response in ServletOAuth2AuthorizedClientExchangeFilterFunction [3], closing a gap that could bite during testing. The docs got real: RestClient examples in the reference documentation now use current APIs [4], and the Java and Kotlin snippets are extracted from the .adoc file. For scheduler nerds, a new overloaded addCronTask() method simplifies cron tasks with non-default time zones [5]. And Sam Brannen is guarding all AsynchronousFileChannel#write call sites in DataBufferUtils [6] plus handling synchronous exceptions from AsynchronousFileChannel#read [7]—critical for Windows with JDK 25.
