Build Your Ideal J2EE Environment

Overview

J2EE programmer is aware of the power that J2EE can bring to the project. However, harnessing that power requires a five-step edit/compile/package/deploy/debug programming cycle. Without the right tools for each step in the cycle as well as integration between those tools, developing J2EE applications can easily become the source of many small frustrations. This paper shows how to use Oracle9i JDeveloper and Ant, the open-source, Java build-management tool, to optimize and eliminate many of the frustrations of the edit/compile/package/deploy/debug programming cycle.
