‘SpringToolSuite4’ cannot be opened because Apple cannot check for malicious software.
We don't have a notarized version of the macOS application yet, but we will try to get this done soon. Since I haven't macOS Catalina installed yet, I cannot try solutions myself, but maybe you can give this a try?
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /<pathToSTS4App>/SpringToolSuite4.app
Does that help?
@martinlippert thank you for your suggestion

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app


@cedarjo not sure how those screenshots are related to this issue. Seems to be instead belong to #377 (therefore closing that comment here).
@martinlippert sorry, this is the first time I try to use STS4. I open the website "https://spring.io/tools" and download "spring-tool-suite-4-4.4.0.RELEASE-e4.13.0-macosx.cocoa.x86_64.dmg".
@cedarjo No problem at all, just trying to find the right item for your issue. If you have trouble with Catalina, this one is the right for you, if you have trouble getting Lombok to work with STS4, the #377 seems to be the right one.
I might be wrong with regards to #377 being the right issue for your Lombok-related questions, since that seems to be a pure keyboard shortcut related question around the quick search instead of a real Lombok-related question.
Can you tell me again what exactly the problem is? The screenshots show that you installed Lombok (which is usually unrelated to the Catalina notarization issue). Can you shed some light on this?

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /<pathToSTS4App>/SpringToolSuite4.appDoes that help?
Yes
Awesome, that is very very good to know... :-)
At least there is a workaround until we get the app notarized.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated !!!

Thanks @martinlippert ! Helped a lot
We just released 4.4.2, which is notarized for macOS and should work now out-of-the-box.
