  Downloads and Documentation

  • Netbeans IDE 6.7.1 Download page. I suggest you choose the third download from the left, (238 MB) which bundles Java SE 6, Netbeans (an IDE for Java), Java Web and EE, Java ME, GlassFish, and Apache Tomcat 6.0.18. Once the NetBeans IDE Installer starts running (which will take awhile), click "Customize", and be sure and check the box to include Apache. Also, we will not use Jave ME, Groovy, or GlassFish, so you might want to uncheck those boxes.
  • Eclipse is an alternative IDE to NetBeans, which you may want to look at. I will not discuss Eclipse during lectures; however, I will be happy to try to help you configure Eclipse for JSP/Servlets outside of class.
  • We will also be using a Database Server (although not in the first assignment). The text examples use MySQL, so this is the platform that I suggest. You can download MySQL 5.1 from this download page.
    • You will also need a database driver for JDBC to communicate with MySQL. We will use Connector/J.
  • Apache Tomcat download page (not needed if you download the Java/NetBeans bundle).

  • Java SE 6 API Specification
  • Java EE 5 API specifications
