Use the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) 6 to create a stand-alone Web services application that can be run from the console. In this tutorial, the first in a series, start by getting familiar with the Eclipse IDE. Configure the environment; create projects, packages, and classes; then run the application from the command line.

Stripes-Quickstart is an Ant script that speeds up the process of creating a new Stripes project.

This "Mastering Eclipse" series of articles teaches complete newcomers to Eclipse the ins and outs of the Eclipse IDE (integrated development environment). By the end of the series, you'll be on par with advanced users. In this article, learn about working with various parts of the Eclipse Java Development Tools.

The first in the Programming Heroes category of our DZone Conversations sees us talking with Ed Merks, of EMF and Eclipse fame. The Programming Heroes series gives me the chance to talk to some of the people that I think have lead the trends in software development. The work that Ed has put behind the modelling projects at Eclipse has been tremendous. Ed had been working with IBM for a long time, and earlier this year left to do his own thing. We find out more about the projects he's interested in, as well as how Ed got into programming, and his advice for new software developers.

In this four minute tutorial I'm presenting how to remotely debug Java web applications in Apache Tomcat and JBoss containers. This tutorial may be useful if you deployed your application on the remote server and want to debug it in this particular environment.

For anyone standardized on Eclipse Europa (3.3)... you are not forgotten. MyEclipse is proud to announce MyEclipse 6.6. This latest release of MyEclipse is specifically for those still using Eclipse 3.3 and includes a full implementation of Maven 2 among other upgrades.

In this three minute tutorial I'm presenting how to detect and debug Java deadlocks in runtime while having access to the application console.

This article describes how to install GWT and the Eclipse Plug-in Cypal Studio for GWT (formerly known as Googlipse) to use GWT more easily. Furthermore this article shows how to write a simple GWT application and run it with the GWT built-in browser. Additionally you will see how to add css (cascading style sheets) to UI elements to make them look much better. The creation of own GWT components is also described as well as debugging GWT applications.

TeeChart v.1 for Java Charting Library ships with 100% sourcecode. It supports major Java programming environments including Borland JBuilder, IBM Eclipse, Sun NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA and Oracle JDeveloper. It offers 46 Chart styles ( in 2D and 3D plus multiple combinations), 37 mathematical functions and 19 Chart tools components for additional functionality including dragging of series marks, annotation objects, cursors and manual trend lines, coloring bands, etc.

Today, Tasktop release the Autumn 2008 version of the tool, adding Linux and Firefox support. I met with Mik Kersten,Tasktop CEO and Eclipse Mylyn project lead to discuss the release and to find out exactly where the line between Tasktop and Mylyn lies.

I guess you all heard of Dependency Injection (DI) and Inversion of Control (IoC). For me those two terms have always described the way a framework is wiring your components at startup. In desktop applications, especially if you are using an application framework, it's a little different.

The previous entry has talked about the implementation details of the Eclipse Help view, and how it is using an embedded HTTP server powered by Jetty to serve dynamic content from a number of sources. Once you have such a custom server in place, you can embed a Browser control in any view / editor and call its setUrl method to show the required content. The links in the browser control will be handled in the same way as in the usual browser control - relative links will be served by the same HTTP server, and absolute links can point to content on the intranet or even external internet pages. But what about the live help actions?

How is Eclipse Help view implemented? This view is a rich collection of interlinked documents that provide the usual functionality of embedding images and navigating between different pages. In addition, it supports live help actions - hyperlinks that can call Eclipse actions (Java code). How is this implemented?

RCP Explorer is a collection of views to explore Eclipse instance: Selection Explorer:This view lets you explore the current selection and the part containing the selection. Shell Explorer: This view lets you explore the SWT widgets of structure of the window containing this view. BEPEB View: This view lets you explore the Plug-ins, Extension-points and Extensions.

One of the goals of e4 (Eclipse 3) is to reduce (code) bloat. The blog post, presents some numbers about how much the classes (for Eclipse 3.5) need in memory and also does a first analysis.

Glassfish v3 Prelude was launched today. Check out the Aquarium site for all the links and details.Three things that I think are great to see:

ZK Studio 0.9.0 enables WYSIWYG Editor and Filtering feature in Ajax Widget Palette.

Every J2EE web application can get an immediate performance boost by eliminating common and unnecessary overhead that uses an uncommon Eclipse setting and a little discipline.

Because both platform have similar feature set and are both really mature (Netbeans RCP is older, whereby Eclipse RCP is more popular), a feature matrix is no more that interesting for choosing the right platform.

JBoss Developer Studio 2 Beta has been made freely available for download (registration required). Existing customers have access through their normal software channels to JBoss/Red Hat.

JBoss Tools 3 Beta1 was built and made available on Halloween night.

MyEclipse and DZone have partnered to bring you a FREE MyEclipse RefCard, a 6-page cheat sheet and quick-reference card for developers using MyEclipse.

ErlIDE, the Erlang IDE powered by Eclipse is an important and powerful tool for developing Erlang applications. This article explains, step-by-step, how to install Erlang/OTP, Eclipse and ErlIDE and then leverage them to build a very simple Erlang application. I will be contributing to ErlIDE in whatever way I can.

First, overall, now that I have gotten back in the water, I am really psyched about PDE dev. Given the perspective of my latest obsessions (Lean), PDE gets very high marks

Earlier this week Tim O’Reilly published one of those famous ‘O”Reillian’ essays that I think people we reference over the years, called ‘Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing‘. O’Reilly breaks down the cloud computing landscape into three categories: 1) utility computing, 2) platform as a service, and 3) cloud based end-user applications.
