Remote editing of a SpringSource application on Tomcat

I'm working on a project currently up and running on a Tomcat 6 install and coded with SpringSource.

I downloaded STS, but I don't understand how I get my STS installation to edit the files on that server rather than the ones in my workspace?

I'm finding it hard to code without the real-time help and debugging from the actual SpringSource IDE.

I've searched SO and Google--I'm sure I开发者_如何学Python'm not the only one who's wondered how to do this--so I assume maybe there's a technical name for doing this I'm not using in my search terms?

It's a noob question, I'm a front end developer, so I embrace my text editors.

Thank you.

How are you copying the edited files to the server? Are you editing them locally and then copying them to the server?

As @Shahzeb already points out, the SpringSource Tool Suite can be downloaded for free.
