Not only do you get good code editing support in Eclipse, but you also get support for build, unit testing, version control, and many other tasks important in different phases of software application development. The Integrated Development Environment ( IDE) plays a major part in developing applications faster, and Eclipse provides just that for JEE. Along with the support for annotations, these services simplify application development to a large extent.Īny runtime technology is not good without good development tools. But JEE has brought many of these frameworks into the core services. J2EE had focused on core services and had left the tasks that made application development easier to external frameworks, for example, MVC and persistent frameworks. Recent versions of JEE have made developing a multi-tier distributed application a lot easier. Since version 5, it has been renamed Java Enterprise Edition ( JEE). J2EE was first released in 1999, but underwent major changes with the release of version 5 in 2006. It is a very robust platform for developing enterprise applications. Java Enterprise Edition (JEE, which was earlier called J2EE) has been around for many years now. You'll also get to know techniques to develop cloud-ready microservices in Java EE. It goes beyond the basics and covers topics like debugging, testing, deployment, and securing your Java EE applications. The book takes you through deployment of an application in Tomcat, GlassFish Servers, and also in the cloud. You will learn how to set up the development environment for Java EE applications and understand Java EE specifications in detail, with an emphasis on examples. The book begins by exploring different Java EE technologies and how to use them (JSP, JSF, JPA, JDBC, EJB, and more), along with suitable technologies for different scenarios.

This guide provides a complete overview of developing highly performant, robust and secure enterprise applications with Java EE with Eclipse.

With recent changes to Java EE 8 specifications, Java EE application development has become a lot simpler with the new specifications, some of which compete with the existing specifications. Java EE is one of the most popular tools for enterprise application design and development.
