The Spring Tools 5 major release gives us the chance to simplify the update and download site URLs.

At the moment, we have for releases:

• https://cdn.spring.io/spring-tools/release/TOOLS/sts4/update/latest/
  • composite pointing to the latest release
• https://cdn.spring.io/spring-tools/release/TOOLS/sts4/update/4.31.0.RELEASE/e4.37
  • the concrete update site of a specific release for a specific Eclipse base release
• https://cdn.spring.io/spring-tools/release/STS4/4.31.0.RELEASE/dist/e4.36/spring-tools-for-eclipse-4.31.0.RELEASE-e4.36.0-macosx.cocoa.aarch64.dmg
  • for a specific distribution package release

For snapshots:

• https://cdn.spring.io/spring-tools/snapshot/TOOLS/sts5/nightly/e4.37
  • snapshot build for a specific Eclipse base release
• https://cdn.spring.io/spring-tools/snapshot/STS5/nightly/dist/e4.37/spring-tools-for-eclipse-5.0.0.202507091848-SNAPSHOT-e4.37.0-macosx.cocoa.aarch64.dmg
  • for snapshot distribution builds

I would like to simplify this down to:

Release update sites:

• https://cdn.spring.io/spring-tools/release/update/latest/
• https://cdn.spring.io/spring-tools/release/update/4.31.0.RELEASE/e4.37

Snapshot update sites:

• https://cdn.spring.io/spring-tools/snapshot/update/e4.37

Release distributions:

• https://cdn.spring.io/spring-tools/release/dist/4.31.0.RELEASE/e4.36/<distribution-package-file>

Snapshot distributions:

• https://cdn.spring.io/spring-tools/snapshot/dist/e4.37/<distribution-package-file>
