Sun Java System Web Server supports Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8. Sun Java Studio technology is Sun's powerful and extensible integrated development environment (IDE) for Java technology developers. Sun Java Studio is based on the NetBeans software and is integrated with the Sun Java platform.
Sun Java Studio support is available on all platforms supported by Sun Java System Web Server 6.1. The plug-in for the Web Server can be obtained in the following ways:
From the companion CD in the Sun Java System Web Server Media Kit
By using the AutoUpdate feature of Sun Java Studio
From the download center for Sun Java System Web Server
Sun Java Studio 8 plug-in for Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP6 works only with a local Web Server, that is, with the IDE and the Web Server on the same machine
For information about using the web application features in Sun Java Studio 8, see http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsenterprise/learning/tutorials/index.html.
Set the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP6 instance as default, and then take the same actions described in the tutorial.
Also see the NetBeans tutorial at http://www.netbeans.org/kb/41/j2ee-tut/.

For additional developer resources, see Additional Sun Resources in these release notes.
Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8 can be used for remote debugging if you want to manually attach the IDE to a remote Web Server started in debug mode. The steps are as follows:
Restart the server instance in the debug mode by using the Sun Java System Web Server Administration interface (Server Manager > JVM General > Debug Enabled).
Note the JPDA port number.
Start the IDE.
Choose Debug > Start.
Select the dt_socket method.
Enter the remote machine name and JPDA port number.
At that moment, any breakpoint created in the IDE on Servlet source code of a deployed application will be active.
