Anypoint Studio 7.20.0 Release Notes

Anypoint Studio is an Eclipse-based integration development environment for designing and testing Mule applications.

December 9, 2024

What’s New

  • Track the number of billable flows in your project.

    In Studio 7.20 and later, you can track the number of billable flows in your project to better understand your consumption patterns from design to deployment, preventing unexpected billing issues. See Tracking the Number of Billable Flows in Studio.

  • Studio now supports Hyperforce.

    You can now deploy your Mule projects to Hyperforce (Canada Cloud and Japan Cloud instances of Anypoint Platform). See Configure Hyperforce in Anypoint Studio.

  • “Design Center” UI labels are renamed to “MuleSoft VCS”.

    MuleSoft VCS is now the tool used to import API specs from Anypoint Platform and the version control system used to track the changes made in API Sync.

Hardware Requirements

  • 8GB of memory

    Studio needs a minimum of 4GB of free RAM on a developer workstation. As applications become more complex, consider adding more RAM.

  • 2GHz CPU

  • 10GB free hard drive space

Software Requirements

Studio is compatible with these operating systems and their standard configuration. Using Studio on configurations other than the supported operating systems can result in unexpected behaviors.

  • Operating Systems

    • macOS 12 through 14

    • Windows 10, Windows 11 (64-bit)*

    • RHEL 9*

    • Ubuntu 18.04 or later LTS

*Windows 11 and RHEL support is based on the Eclipse support matrix. For more information, see Eclipse target environments.

Running real-time antivirus protection software on your operating system might have a negative impact on Anypoint Studio performance. Although this issue is prominent on Windows, it also occurs on Linux and macOS.

The steps to solve these performance issues vary depending on your antivirus software. A typical solution is to either allow or exclude the Anypoint Studio and Java executables, the Studio install and workspace filesystem locations, or some combination of both. See examples of solutions for Trellix Endpoint Security Threat Prevention, Windows Security, and Broadcom Endpoint Protection.

Workspace Upgrade Requirements

You can create and organize projects in workspaces with Studio. When you first open Studio, it automatically generates a default workspace to store your projects. Your Mule application projects aren’t fully compatible with workspaces in a different version of Studio.

Projects created with Studio 6.x aren’t compatible with Studio 7.x because they’re Mule 3.x projects.

See Update Workspaces for more information.
