Step 1: Search and install the plugin
Open the plug-in market that comes with Eclipse and search for the keyword "spring tools suit":
Pay attention to check the version number in the search results, theoretically it should be the latest version number officially released. If you are not at ease, you can enter the Spring official website to confirm.
Official website address: Spring | Home
After entering the official website, you can find "Spring tools" in the menu bar
After clicking to enter, I found that the version numbers are indeed consistent:
If you find inconsistencies, you can decide whether to install them online directly from the plug-in market that comes with Eclipse, or manually download them from the Spring official website. Here I choose to install directly from the plug-in market.
Select the components to be installed:
After clicking "Confirm", enter the next step, choose to agree to the relevant agreement text, if you do not agree, you cannot install:
After the installation is complete, you need to restart Eclipse:

If you have an "ancestral" Spring project, find its Application.java, right-click it, select "Run As", and in the expanded secondary menu, select "Spring Boot App":
After the project starts, you can see Spring's log output on the console:
