There are certainly a lot of IDE’s out there, but I never seen one that
is really easy to use and packed with plugin support. This is an open
source tool, and i will say that this is better that VAJ. If you’re
just a plain Java application developer, you can go ahead into speed
with the standard Eclipse package. If you develop web applications, you
can download Lomboz plugin which is introduced in this article.
This tutorial will setup Eclipse in Windows XP platform.
Requirements:
JDK 1.4
Apache 2
Resin 2.x or higher
Eclipse 3
Eclipse EMF plugin
Eclipse Lomboz plugin
Steps:
I assume that you have installed JDK 1.4, Apache 2, and Resin or Tomcat.
Download and install Eclipse 3:
Download and install Eclipse 3.0 from Eclipse.org.
The Eclipse package is simply a zip file. You just need to extract the
contents to your desired development space. In my case, I extracted it
in my C:/dev/eclipse directory.
Download Eclipse EMF 2.0.1 release plugin:
Go to Eclipse EMF page
and dwonload the EMF plugin. I recommend that you download the ALL SDK
package which will include SDO and XSD. To install the plugin, just put
the EMF directory in the Eclipse plugin directory.
Download Lomboz plugin for Eclipse 3:
Download Lomboz and install it to Eclipse plugin directory. If you can’t fing the Lomboz download section, just click here. For complete instruction on how to setup Lomboz, please visit their website.
With
the complete setup of Lomboz, you can easily develop web application
components such as JSP, Servlet, and EJB. You can easily test your web
application with Lomboz’ easy deployment feature. After deployment,
just go to your web application server root address.
