J1EE

I’ve been using WSAD to write J2EE apps for several years.  Recently I installled Windows XP on my laptop next to Windows 2000.  WSAD is installed on the Windows 2000 side and won’t run because it can’t find the license.  Rather than reinstalling I started to run eclipse (V3M8).  I was working on a web application for my children and wanted to make a simple change.  I copied the WSAD project into eclipse and created a simple ant build.xml with a war task.  Well, what do you know, it worked!  I was able to deploy it to tomcat 5 through the manager app with the greatest of ease.  So now I can write servlets and JSPs with eclipse with no special plug-ins.


I feel like I’m entering the J1EE age.


 


(Note for those who don’t get the joke: the servlet API predates Java 2 and J2EE.)
