wanting to play with full suite of Java EE under ubuntu
having been a moderate java programmer quite some time back, i'd
like to get familiar with the full suite of java EE technology, and
i'd like to do all that on ubuntu.
i'm not looking to become a java EE expert -- mostly, i just want to
get a passing familiarity with the different components of the
technology, at least enought to know what they mean, be able to set it
all up, run at least one simple example for each bit, etc.
which looks like it might be what i'm after. and to that end, i'm
going to want to install and test all the necessary components on my
ubuntu system, so i'm curious as to who else has done this, whether
there's a ubuntu-specific web page that covers this, and so on.
if there are any good online pointers to get me started, that would
be great. in the meantime, i'm just going to start poking around that
book and see what ubuntu packages correspond to the different
technologies, then try to set up and run simple examples of
everything. thanks.

If you want to really get a java workout, check out Open Wonderland.
It's a 3D environment, complete with telephony, avatars and every other
java toolkit laden feature. Shoot, it's way past me and the email list
is plagued with top-posting. But, I have it running and the people doing
the devel stuff stay on the list at all times. It's fun and 100% nothing
but java. Me, I just watch all of the rolling commentary on the code
development. http://www.openwonderland.org

top-post like maniacs, always. Ric

looks interesting, i'll check it out. i just want to make sure it
doesn't hide all the details from me. i guess what i'm after for the
time being is a tutorial on "how to set up a java EE development
environment from scratch on ubuntu" sort of writeup. a lot of it is
fairly self-evident but not all of it.
as a trivial example, the book i mentioned earlier is set up to demo
all of its tutorials using glassfish. but when one searches for
ubuntu glassfish packages, one sees:
$ apt-cache search glassfish
glassfish-activation - Open source Java EE 5 Application Server
glassfish-appserv - Open source Java EE 5 Application Server
glassfish-javaee - Open source Java EE 5 Application Server
glassfish-jmac-api - Open source Java EE 5 Application Server
glassfish-mail - Open source Java EE 5 Application Server
glassfish-toplink-essentials - Open source Java EE 5 Application Server
libgeronimo-activation-1.1-spec-java - Java Activation Framework implementation from Apache Geronimo
$
in other words, if you knew *nothing* about glassfish (which i
don't), you wouldn't be sure which package(s) to install. it's just
little things like that that can be massively frustrating. anyway,
i'll puzzle it all out eventually.

Glassfish is already embedded into Wonderland, and yes, the source is
100% there if you chose the nightly build via svn instead of the binary.
You'll need ant installed. Ric
