This is version 1. It is not the current version, and thus it cannot be edited.
[Back to current version]   [Restore this version]

1. Download the latest JDK (J2SE SDK) from http://java.sun.com. As of 11/6/2003, this is 1.4.2. Choose the SDK link from under "Download J2SE v 1.4.2_02" for your respective platform.
2. Download the latest J2EE Bundle from http://java.sun.com. As of 11/6/2003, this is 1.4 Beta 2. This will be used for compiling AppFuse or Struts-Resume (XDoclet requires javax.ejb.* and javax.servlet.* in the classpath when building).
3. Download the latest Tomcat release from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat. At the time of this writing, it's 4.1.29. DON'T get the LE version or you'll have to add DBCP (database connection pool) and JavaMail (for e-mail) JARs.

I usually put all these downloads in a "Downloads" folder - in fact, I plan on starting to pack around a CD with all of these libraries on them - nice to have when traveling to new clients and networks are slow.
