Sun Java Studio Enterprise Support

Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 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^TM 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 companion 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 SP7 works only with a local web server, that is, the IDE and the web server must be installed 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 SP7 instance as default, and follow the steps described in the tutorial.
