  1. Robert Clevenger Principal Product Manager Oracle Corporation

  2. Creating a Java Development Environment with Open Source Tools and Oracle9i JDeveloper

  3. Topics • Linux • Software Choices • Installation • Sourceforge.net

  4. Linux

  5. Linux • Open source with GNU GPL licensing • Young and dynamic OS with lots of momentum from developers worldwide • Portable to most architectures • Diagnostic and tuning packages • Excellent, low-cost alternative • Over 18 million Linux users worldwide

  6. Why Linux? • Open source • You have the source for your OS • Faster access to patches • Cost effective. You pay only for support • Runs on the X86 platform and many others • Reliable - No blue screen of death

  7. Why Oracle on Linux? • Proven track record • Technical Linux OS support • Technology innovations on Linux • Cost Effective solution • Certification with major enterprise Linux distributions • 1 million+ copies of Oracle products for Linux - downloaded from OTN

  8. Which distribution is for you? • Red Hat • SuSE • Mandrake • Caldera • Debian • Slackware

  9. Software Choices • J2SDK • CVS • Editor or IDE • JDeveloper • Ant • Struts • Tomcat

  10. Java2 Software Development Kit • Which distribution? • Blackdown.org • Sun Microsystems, Inc • Which version • 1.3.1 • 1.4.1

  11. CVS • Open Source Software Configuration Management (SCM) Tool • Started out in 1986 as a collection of shell scripts posted on comp.sources.unix • CVS application created in 1989 • De-facto standard for SCM among Open Source Projects

  12. Why CVS? • Cost effective • Tested by years of use in many environments • Client/Server Support • Supports tunnelling for secure connections • Extensible with scripts (cvswrappers)

  13. Editor or IDE? • Many Editors • Emacs • JEdit • vi • Jext • Many IDEs • JDeveloper • JBuilder • NetBeans

  14. Why use an IDE? • Coding tools geared for your language • WYSIWYG Editors • Metadata Editors • Deployment Support • VCS Integration • One tool with a reduced learning curve

  15. Ant • Java and XML based build tool, like make, without the quirks • Included as part of Tomcat source code donated to Apache Foundation from Sun • Split out of Tomcat in January 2000 • Quickly became the defacto-standard among Open Source Java projects • Used by virtually all Apache-Jakarta projects

  16. Why Ant? • Uses XML metafiles instead of make files • "No dreaded tab problem" • XML is more familiar to many Java developers • Extended with Java vs. Shell commands • Better cross-platform compatibility • No tcsh/bash/cmd.exe/perl/python required

  17. Struts • Struts is an open source framework for building Web applications that integrates with standard technologies like Java Servlets, JavaServer Pages and JavaBeans • Struts enables Web application development which follow the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm

  18. Why Struts? • Provides a framework for an area where there was none • Struts is already considered the de-facto standard for a J2EE MVC Framework • Struts is moving towards becoming a standard (Java Server Faces) • Is influencing future of J2EE Web Tier development

  19. Jakarta-Tomcat • Created when Sun donated the RI to Apache • Apache Project • Started the Apache-Jakarta project • Used by Sun in the reference implementation

  20. Installation • Java2 Software Development Kit • CVS • Editors and other free software • JDeveloper • Ant and other Jakarta projects

  21. Java2 SDK • Installation Formats • RPM • TAR • Where to install • Integration with rest of the environment • Gotachas • Preferences • README items do matter

  22. CVS • Where to obtain it • Where to install it • Setting up the CVS pserver environment

  23. Editors and other free software • Building from Source • GNU.org • SourceForge.net • Project Home Pages • Pre-built binaries • RPMFind.net • FreshMeat.net

  24. JDeveloper • Free Download from OTN • http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev • RPM and ZIP file installs • ZIP file is the same image as all platforms

  25. Ant and other Jakarta Projects • http://jakarta.apache.org • Find a local mirror if possible • Two ways to install software • Build it from the sources • Use the pre-built binaries • Mix in match pre-built vs. build yourself • Use pre-built on most Java projects • Use sources for Apache Server/modules

  26. SourceForge.net • Sourceforge.net is the world’s largest Open Source software development website • Hosts tens of thousands of projects • Free for all Open Source projects • Owned by VA Software • Part of the Open Source Developers Network (OSDN)
