STS won't respond due to version incompatibility

My STS 3.9.4.RELEASE (Build: 201804120921, Platform: Eclipse Oxygen.3a 4.7.3a) crashes often due to:

!ENTRY org.springframework.ide.eclipse.beans.core 1 0 2018-04-26 09:23:26.627

My project uses spring-security-core:2.0.8.RELEASE and spring-core:3.2.0.RELEASE, so it's clear that the version of Spring my project uses is not compatible with the version of Spring the IDE uses to analyze the beans. I tried:

  1. removing the problematic bean xml from the Config Files (Project > Properties > Spring > Beans Support > Config Files > Remove above xml)
  2. disabling the bean validation completely on my project (Project > Properties > Spring > Project Validators > Uncheck Beans Validator)

but neither of them helped. This error causes:

  1. save to freeze (says user operations is waiting for background work to complete, but there is none) even after multiple restarts,
  2. shutdown/restart of STS to fail (it simply makes 0 progress), forcing me to kill the process

Any way to resolve this anyone?

Unfortunately it looks indeed like the used versions of the libraries are not compatible with the Spring version that is used inside of the IDE to create the beans model, so removing that problematic Spring XML config file from the project properties is the right approach for this issue.

But it looks like your XML is still being used to create the internal beans model. Therefore please make sure to disable the automatic config file detection mechanism, otherwise your XML file is being found over and over again by that mechanism.
