Java Development Tools

Each programmer has a development tool of their own, using handy, good tools can do more with less effect. But different people, different preferences, the use of different tools. Like the knight needs weapons, 18-like weapons, strengths, each warrior has his own weapons. Below is a description of the weapons in the IT industry:

JDK (Java Development Kit) Java Development toolset, Eclipse, MyEclipse, UltraEdit, Java Workshop, NetBeans and Sun Java Studio 5, Borland JBuilder, Oracle's JDeveloper, IBM's visual age for Java, BEA WebLogic Workshop, webgain visual Cafe for Java, Macromedia Jru N, JCreator, Microsoft vj++, Ant, IntelliJ

1. JDK (Java Development Kit) Java Development Toolset
Sun's Java not only provides a rich language and runtime environment, but also provides a free Java Development toolset (JDK). Developers and end users can use this tool to develop Java programs.

The JDK is easy to learn, and you can write Java source files from any text editor (such as Windows Notepad, Ultredit, EditPlus, FrontPage, and Dreamweaver), and then in DOS The javac command compiles Java source programs into bytecode and executes the compiled Java files through Java commands, which can bring good memories to the DOS-era programmer. This development tool is commonly used by Java beginners. From a beginner's point of view Java development tools, the use of JDK development Java program can quickly understand the program of the relationship between the parts of the code, is conducive to understanding Java object-oriented design ideas. Another notable feature of the JDK is the upgrade with Java (EE, J2SE, and J2ME) versions. However, its shortcomings are also very obvious is that it is very difficult to engage in large-scale enterprise Java application Development, can not carry out complex Java software development, is not conducive to group co-development.

2, Eclipse650) this.width=650; "class=" Fit-image "src=" http://image.51cto.com/files/uploadimg/20060111/ 10404010.jpg "style=" border-width:0px;float:right; "align=" Middle "vspace=" 1 "border=" 1 "/>

     eclipse is an extensible open source IDE. In November 2001, IBM donated $40 million worth of source code to form the Eclipse Alliance, which is responsible for the follow-up development of this tool. The integrated development environment (IDE) often limits its application to "development, build, and debug" cycles. To help the integrated development environment (IDE) overcome current limitations, industry vendors have partnered to create the Eclipse platform. Eclipse allows the integration of tools from different vendors in the same IDE and interoperability between Java development tools, dramatically altering project workflows and enabling developers to focus on actual embedded goals. This flexibility of the
    Eclipse Framework stems from its extensibility points. They are well-known interfaces defined in XML and act as a coupling point for plug-ins. Extension points range from simple strings that are used in general expression filters to descriptions of a Java class. Any extension points defined by the Eclipse plug-in can be used by other plug-ins, whereas any Eclipse plug-in May follow the extension points defined by other plug-ins. In addition to the interfaces defined by the extension points, the plug-in does not know how the services they provide through the extension point will be used.
    with Eclipse, we can combine high-level design (perhaps with UML) with low-level development tools such as application debuggers. If these complementary standalone tools are connected to each other using the eclipse extension points, the UML dialog box can highlight the device we are looking at when we use the debugger to examine the app one at a time. In fact, since Eclipse does not understand the development language, it is valid regardless of the Java language debugger, the C + + debugger, or the assembler debugger, and can target different processes or nodes simultaneously within the same framework. The biggest feature of
    Eclipse is its ability to accept open source plugins written by Java developers, similar to the NetBeans platform of Microsoft's Visual Studio and Sun Microsystems. Eclipse provides tool developers with greater flexibility to gain greater control over their software technologies. The Eclipse Alliance has announced it will release its version 3.0 software in mid-2004. This is a very popular Java development tool, this domestic users more and more, in fact, it is the most Java developers. Disadvantage is more complex, for beginners, it is more difficult to understand.

3, MyEclipse
MyEclipse Enterprise-class work platform (MyEclipse Enterprises Workbench, referred to as MyEclipse) is an extension of the Eclipse IDE, which we can develop, publish, and use in the database and the Java EE and the integration of application servers greatly improve productivity. It is a feature-rich Java EE integrated development environment that includes complete coding, debugging, testing and publishing capabilities, complete support for HTML, Struts, JSF, CSS, Javascript, SQL, Hibernate.
In structure, the characteristics of myeclipse can be divided into 7 categories: 1. 2. The Java EE model; Web development tools; 3. EJB development tool; 4. Connector for the application server; 5. Java EE Project Deployment service; 6. Database services; 7. MyEclipse Integration Help
For each of these functional categories, there are corresponding functional parts in eclipse and implemented through a series of plugins. This modularity in the MYECLIPSE structure allows us to expand and upgrade any module independently without affecting other modules.
Simply put, MyEclipse is a plug-in for Eclipse and a powerful Java EE integrated development environment that supports code authoring, configuration, testing, and debugging.
　

4, UltraEdit
UltraEdit is a shared software, is a powerful text, HTML, program source code Editor, its official website is: www.ultraedit.com. As a source code editor, its default configuration can be used to syntax coloring of C + +, VB, HTML, Java, and Perl. When using it to design Java programs, you can identify and color Java keywords, which facilitates Java programming. It has complete copy, paste, cut, find, replace, format control and other editing functions. The Java compiler javac and interpreter Java can be configured in the tool configuration menu item of the Advanced menu, and the Java program is compiled and run directly.

5, Java Workshop650) this.width=650; "class=" Fit-image "src=" http://image.51cto.com/files/uploadimg/ 20060111/1040400.gif "style=" border-width:0px;float:right; "align=" Middle "vspace=" 1 "border=" 1 "/>

Sun Microsystems launched the Java WorkShop 1.0 on March 26, 1996, the first multi-platform development tool in the industry to be used by the Internet network. It can meet the needs of companies to develop Internet and intranet application software. Java workshop is fully written in the Java language and is the first full Java development environment to be sold on the market today, and the Java Workshop version is now 3.0.
The characteristics of Java workshop are as follows:

1). Structure is easy to create: Java workshop is more convenient than any other Java development tool in creating a platform-neutral grid structure.

2). Visual Programming: The visual programming features of Java Workshop are very basic. Java Workshop allows programmers to rearrange these operations and even determine which filters trigger action behavior. Java Workshop generated templates with a lot of comments, which is very helpful to programmers.

In addition, Java Workshop supports the JDK1.1.3 and JavaBeans component models, and API and language features increase the flexibility of compiling Java applications.
The Java Workshop Development environment is very portable because it is fully written in Java, so it can be supported by multiple platforms, and currently Java workshop supports the Solaris operating environment SPARC and Intel Editions), Windows95, WindowsNT, and Hp/ux and other platforms. Suitable for beginners to do some simple Java programming. The disadvantage of Java workshop is that every visual object in Java Workshop will sooner or later use a grid layout, a design method that many people are not accustomed to, and the Java Workdshop palette is poor enough to satisfy only the basic requirements of most applications.

6. NetBeans and Sun Java Studio 5

650) this.width=650; "class=" Fit-image "src=" Http://image.51cto.com/files/uploadimg/20060111/1040401.gif "style=" Border-width:0px;float:right, "align=" Middle "vspace=" 1 "border=" 1 "/> NetBeans is an open source Java integrated development environment (IDE), Applies to a variety of client and Web applications.

NetBeans is the industry's first open-source IDE to support innovative Java development. Developers can leverage the industry's powerful development tools to build desktop, web, or mobile applications. At the same time, through the modular architecture of NetBeans and the Open API, third parties can easily extend or integrate the NetBeans platform.
NetBeans3.5.1 is primarily for developers of Java software, while Java one Studio5 is primarily for developers of applications such as Web services. Sun will soon launch Project Rave, whose goal is to help enterprise developers with software development. NetBeans 3.5. Version 1 compared with other Java development tools, the biggest difference is not only to develop a variety of desktop applications, but also can be used to develop Web services applications, can develop J2ME-based mobile device applications and so on. On the basis of NetBeans 3.5.1, Sun has developed Java one STUDIO5, which provides users with a more advanced enterprise programming environment. There is an application framework in the new Java one Studio5 that developers can use to quickly develop their own applications for Web services.

7, Borland JBuilder650) this.width=650; "class=" Fit-image "src=" http://image.51cto.com/files/uploadimg/ 20060111/1040402.jpg "style=" border-width:0px;float:right; "align=" Middle "vspace=" 1 "border=" 1 "/>

JBuilder has entered the kingdom of the Java Integrated development environment, which satisfies many applications, especially for server parties and EJB developers.
The following is a brief introduction to the characteristics of JBuilder:
1) JBuilder supports the latest Java technologies, including applets, Jsp/servlets, JavaBean, and EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) applications.
2) users can automatically generate EJB Java classes based on back-end database tables, and JBuilder also simplifies the automatic deployment of EJBS. In addition, it supports CORBA, and the corresponding wizards help users to fully manage IDL (the required Required Interface Definition Language Interface definition Language) and control remote objects.
3) JBuilder supports various application servers. JBuilder is tightly integrated with Inprise application server, supports WebLogic server, supports EJB 1.1 and EJB 2.0, and can quickly develop e-commerce applications for Java EE.
4) JBuilder can develop and debug dynamic Web applications with Servlets and JSPs.

② is equipped with a high-speed Java Debugger (Debuger), a built-in profiling tool, a tool for improving code quality "Codecoach" and so on.
③ support for SOAP (Simple Object access Protocol), "Basic Objects Access Protocol", UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and integration) "Unified description, Discovery, and Integration Protocol" , WSDL (Web Services Description Language) Web service standards such as Web Service Description language.
JDeveloper is not just a good Java programming tool, it is an extension of Oracle Web services, supports Apache SOAP, and 9iAS, and the extensible environment is closely related to XML and the WSDL language. Oracle9ijdeveloper is fully written in Java and can be compatible with previous Oracle Server software and other vendor-supported application server products, and is designed with a focus on oracle9i for seamless application development across platforms. Provides the industry's first complete, Java EE and XML-based development environment, allowing developers to quickly develop Web services and transactional applications that can be accessed through the Web, wireless devices, and voice interfaces, previously only by combining traditional Java programming techniques with the latest modular approach to a single integrated The fact that the EE application Development Lifecycle management can be completed after the development environment has fundamentally changed. The disadvantage is that it is more complicated and difficult for beginners.

9, IBM's visual age for Java

650) this.width=650; "class=" Fit-image "src=" http://image.51cto.com/files/uploadimg/20060111/1040404.jpg "style=" border-width:0px;float:right; "align=" Middle "vspace=" 1 "border=" 1 "/> Visual age for Java is a very mature development tool, its features for it developers and It's very useful for amateur Java programmers. It provides extensive support for visual programming, supports the use of CICS-connected genetic mainframe applications, supports EJB development applications, supports integrated development with WebSphere, facilitates bean creation, and good rapid application development (RAD) support and file-not-file processing.
The WebSphere Studio Advanced Edition and the VisualAge for Java Professional Edition software that IBM has launched for the construction of the Web site have been fully shifted to Java-centric so that Java developers may feel a lot better about WebSphere full tools. The tools provided by Studio are: Web site management, rapid development of the JDBC Page Wizard, HTML Editor, HTML Syntax checker, and more. This is really a good HTML site page editing environment. Studio and VisualAge are highly integrated, and the menu provides the option to quickly move code between the two packages. This lets web page designers using studio and Java programmers using VisualAge Exchange files and work together.
Developed by the Visual age for Java support Team, the built-in code base can automatically modify the program code based on user changes, making it easy to compare the current code with the earlier version. WebSphere Studio, which is tightly coupled with visual age, does not natively provide support for source code and versioning, it simply contains a built-in file locking system that prevents others from modifying the files when editing the project, and it also supports Microsoft Third-party source code control systems such as Visual SourceSafe. Visual age for Java fully object-oriented program design ideas make the development process very fast and efficient. You can design a typical application framework without writing any code. Visual age for Java, one of the products of IBM e-commerce solutions, seamlessly integrates with other IBM products, such as WebSphere, DB2, to quickly complete the process from design, development to deployment.
Visual age for Java has a unique way of managing files that makes it difficult to integrate with external tools, and you can't let visual age for Java develop your app together with other tools.

10, BEA's WebLogic Workshop650) this.width=650; "class=" Fit-image "src=" http://image.51cto.com/files/uploadimg/ 20060111/1040405.jpg "style=" border-width:0px;float:right; "align=" Middle "vspace=" 1 "border=" 1 "/>BEAWebLogic Workshop is a unified, simplified, and extensible development environment that enables all developers to build standards-based enterprise applications on the BEA WebLogic Enterprise platform, thus increasing the productivity level of the development department Accelerate the realization of value.
In addition to providing convenient Web services, WebLogic Workshop can be used to create more kinds of applications. As a development environment for the entire BEA WebLogic platform. Whether you're creating a portal app, writing a workflow, or creating a web app, Workshop 8.1 helps developers do it faster and better.
The main features of WebLogic workshop are as follows:
① make the development of the Java EE feasible and improve the development efficiency
BEA WebLogic Workshop allows developers to stay away from the complexities inherent in Java EE and focus on business logic without worrying about tedious infrastructure code. This innovation means that the powerful capabilities of the enterprise-proven Java EE are ultimately mastered by most of the developers of applications that are not familiar with it, and thus increase the efficiency of the IT department by an order of magnitude.
Visual designers and intuitive concepts, such as events, properties, and controls, enable event-based development. Workshop Simplified Program Design model, so that developers do not have to master the complex Java EE API and object-oriented programming principles. All developers, including the EE experts and application developers with visual and procedural language skills, can work together on BEA WebLogic Enterprise Platform. Workshop's visual development environment, creating standard Java files with code annotations to illustrate enterprise-level requirements implemented by the runtime framework. Java EE and other advanced developers, with powerful code-editing capabilities, have access to the source code to make up for the lack of visual designers.
② Building Enterprise-class applications
The BEA WebLogic Workshop greatly reduces development risk by implementing a wide range of applications on a scalable, secure and reliable enterprise-class architecture. Furthermore, all applications are created using standard Java EE components that protect your technology investment while maintaining maximum flexibility. The BEA WebLogic Workshop operating framework is the aggregation layer that unifies the entire architecture, allowing a single, simplified program design model to be extended to all BEA WebLogic Enterprise Platform application types. By interpreting the comment code created at design time, the runtime framework can implement the necessary Java EE components and extract all the underlying details related to the development of the Java EE application.
③ Reduce IT complexity
BEA WebLogic Workshop offers a variety of Java controls that make IT easy to connect to IT resources. In addition, Java controls are extensible and identical in the construction of any BEA WebLogic Platform application. This powerful and effective approach can: reduce the complexity of IT technology, optimize the availability of information, and drive the development of reusable services that include "best practices", enabling developers to achieve greater output at lower cost and in less time.
With BEA WebLogic Workshop, any developer can build a wide range of Web services, Web applications, portals, and integration projects with maximum productivity. Bea WebLogic Workshop is the core of BEA's product strategy, which helps customers access and leverage the power of service-oriented architecture (SOA). The BEA Weblogic Workshop 8.1 greatly simplifies the building of enterprise applications and services in today's real enterprise integration environment and is a natural choice for fully supporting critical enterprise applications such as asynchronous, true loose-coupling, and coarse-grained messaging. Its disadvantage is that it is too complex, and for beginners, it is more difficult to understand.

11, Webgain visual Cafe for Java

650) this.width=650; "class=" Fit-image "src=" Http://image.51cto.com/files/uploadimg/20060111/1040406.jpg " Style= "border-width:0px;float:right;" align= "Middle" vspace= "1" border= "1"/>Visual Cafe is a debugger that works only on Symantec's Java virtual machines, Netscape Company's Java virtual machines, and Microsoft virtual machines. This is an important feature for developers, because many software bugs in user-developed Java code can potentially work on a specific virtual machine.
When the compilation base continues to debug after a modification, visual Cafe automatically disks the files, and native apps created with Visual Cafe have many features. In addition to the apparent increase in speed, Symantec makes the class library binary in a way that automatically generates or updates the necessary Java code for the specified relationship than the normal JDK small visual cafe. With visual Cafe, users can assemble complete Java applications and applets from a standard object database without having to write source code. Visual Cafe also provides an expanded source code Java development tool.
Visual Cafe synthesizes the Java software Visual Source Java development tool, which allows developers to effectively convert between visual views and source views. Changes made in the visual view are immediately reflected in the source code. Changes to the source code automatically update the visual view.
Visual Cafe has many source-file-related features, such as global retrieval and substitution. The problem with the vast majority of the documentation for Java development Tools is simply to introduce each component of the development tool in one place, but users need a task-oriented manual when they open the application, which allows you to start creating your own apps without having to know the specific features of each part of the tool. Visual Cafe provides a very comprehensive user guide that provides comprehensive assistance for the initial installation to the creation of the first Java application and applets, and Visual Cafe will automatically generate the necessary Java code for the indicated relationship. Visual Cafe can run under Windows 95 and Windows NT platforms, and Symantec provides a RAD tool that can run on the Macintosh operating system for Java development work. The Visual Cafe compiler is fast and stands out in terms of internationalization support, and the disadvantage is that it is more complex and difficult for beginners.

12, Macromedia JRUN650) this.width=650; "class=" Fit-image "src=" http://image.51cto.com/files/ Uploadimg/20060111/1040407.jpg "style=" border-width:0px;float:right; "align=" Middle "vspace=" 1 "border=" 1 "/>

The

    macromedia Company's JRun is a Java engine with the broadest applicability for developing and implementing Java Servlets and JavaServer Pages written for server-side Java applications. JRun is the first commercially available product to fully support JSP 1.0 specifications, with more than 80,000 developers worldwide using JRun to add server-side Java functionality to their existing Web servers. Where the Web server includes Microsoft iis,netscape Enterprise Server,apache, and so on. The
JRun is an advanced engine for developing server-side Java implementations. If we want to add server-side Java functionality to our Web applications, then JRun will be the right choice for us. The
JRun currently has 3 versions and is the first commercially available product that supports Java Server Pages (JSP) Specification 1.0. JSP is a powerful server-side technology that is a complete set of rapid application development systems for creating complex web applications. JRun allows us to start developing and testing Java applications. It accepts up to 5 concurrent connections and includes all Java Servlet APIs, supports JavaServer Pages (JSP), and supports all major Web servers and computer platforms. JRun Pro can withstand heavy traffic loads in production environments, helping us implement applications, services, or Web sites, including the intranet.

Provides a remote management applet and a remote, reusable management applet. JRun Pro Unlimited includes all JRun Pro features, and can run an unlimited number of concurrent JVMs, in addition to the Times.
JRun relies on its built-in JRun Web server to run independently. With server-side Java, users can develop complex business applications. Most importantly, it is a great alternative to CGI (Common Gateway Interface) or Perl scripts due to Servlets's platform independence and simpler development, faster implementation, and cost-efficient maintenance. The disadvantage is that it is more complicated and difficult for beginners.

13, JCreator650) this.width=650; "class=" Fit-image "src=" http://image.51cto.com/files/uploadimg/20060111/1040408. GIF "style=" border-width:0px;float:right; "align=" Middle "vspace=" 1 "border=" 1 "/>

JCreator is a Java development tool and a Java integrated development environment (IDE). Whether you're developing a Java application or an applet component on a Web page, it's hard to fail. It is easier to function with text-mode development tools such as the JDK published by Sun, and allows users to customize the interface of the user-defined operation window and the infinite Undo/redo functions.
JCreator provides users with quite powerful features, such as project management features, project template features, customizable syntax highlighting attributes, line numbers, class browser, label documents, multi-function Yi, wizard functions, and fully customizable user interfaces. With JCreator, we do not need to activate the main document and Yi or run our Java program.
JCreator can automatically find the file containing the main function or the HTML file containing the applet, and then it will run the appropriate Java development tools. In JCreator, we can yi multiple projects at the same time through a batch process. JCreator's design is close to the Windows interface style, and the user is familiar with its interface. Its greatest feature is the perfect combination of the JDK installed in our machines, unmatched by any other IDE. It is a beginner's easy to use Java development tools, the disadvantage is that only simple program development, can not carry out Enterprise Java EE Development and application.

14. Microsoft vj++
Visual J + + is a Visual Java language integrated development Environment (IDE) introduced by Microsoft Corporation, providing a new development environment for Java programmers and a very good development tool. Whether it's integration, speed, debugging, or ease of use, it's all about Microsoft's style.

Visual J + + has the following characteristics:
1) Visual J + + puts the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) into Windows as a standalone operating system component, making it stand-alone from the browser.
2) Microsoft's application base Class library (Afc,application Foundation class libraries) extends the Sun Company's JDK to make applying the base class library more suitable for use in Windows.
3) The debugger for Visual J + + supports dynamic debugging, including stepping, setting breakpoints, observing variable values, and more.
4) Visual J + + provides a number of program wizards (Wizards) and generators (Builders) that can easily help users quickly build Java programs to help you create and modify files in your own project.
5) Visual J + + interface-friendly, its code editor with IntelliSense, online compilation and other functions, so that the program is very convenient to write. Visual J + + builds Java's WFC, a new application framework that provides direct access to the Windows Application Interface (API), enabling you to write fully-meaningful Windows applications in the Java language.
6) Quick application development features of Form Designer in Visual J + + It is easy and easy to use WFC to create form-based applications. The WFC makes it easy to use an ActiveX data object, Ado,activex data Objects, to retrieve and execute the binding of simple data. By using ActiveX Data Objects in the form designer, you can quickly access and display data in a form.
Visual J + + can be combined with Microsoft's consistent programming style, it is convenient for Java application development, but its portability is poor, not a pure Java development environment.

15, Ant 650) this.width=650; "class=" Fit-image "src=" http://image.51cto.com/files/uploadimg /20060111/10404011.jpg "style=" border-width:0px;float:right; "align=" Middle "vspace=" 1 "border=" 1 "/>    

Another Neat tool (ANT) is a Java-based build utility. Theoretically, it is somewhat similar to make in (Unix) C, but without the bug of make. The limitations and inconveniences of these tools cannot be tolerated because Ant's original authors develop software on multiple (hardware) platforms. Tools like make are inherently shell-based: They compute dependencies and then execute commands (these commands are not much different from the commands you hit on the command line). This means that you can easily extend the tool by using OS-specific or writing new (command) programs; however, it also means that you are restricting yourself to a specific OS, or specific OS type, such as UNIX. Ant is different. Unlike extended mode based on shell commands, Ant is extended with Java classes. (users) Do not have to write shell commands, the configuration file is XML-based, by invoking the target tree, you can execute various tasks. Each task is run by implementing an object that implements a specific task interface.
Ant supports some optional tasks, and an optional task typically requires additional libraries to work. Optional task is separated from Ant's built-in task and packaged separately. This optional package can be downloaded from the same place you downloaded ant. Ant itself is such a process scripting engine that automates the invocation of programs to complete project compilation, packaging, testing, and so on. In addition to being platform-agnostic based on Java, the script is XML-based, and is better maintained than the make script. Ant is the build tool that Apache provides to Java developers, which can run under Windows OS and UNIX OS, which is not only open source but also a very useful tool. Ant is a very useful Java development tool in Apache Jakarta, the ant configuration file is written in XML, so Java programmers are familiar with its syntax, Ant is dedicated to the Java Project platform and can be developed in pure Java. It can run on a Java-installed platform, which embodies its cross-platform capabilities. Its disadvantage shows that the execution result can only be the DOS character interface, not the complicated Java program development.

16, IntelliJ

650) this.width=650; "class=" Fit-image "src=" http://image.51cto.com/files/uploadimg/20060111/10404012.jpg "style=" border-width:0px;float:right; "align=" Middle "vspace=" 1 "border=" 1 "/> Intellij idea is a comprehensive Java programming environment, Known as the best IDE on the market by many developers and industry experts. It offers a range of the most useful combinations of tools: Intelligent coding assistance and automatic control, support for J2ee,ant,junit and CVS integration, non-parallel code checking and innovative GUI designers. Idea frees Java developers from time-consuming routine work, significantly improving development efficiency. With faster running, better generation of code, continuous redesign and daily coding make it easy to integrate with other Java development tools, high price/performance ratio. Generics,bea WebLogic integration, improved CVS integration, and GUI designer are supported in version 4.0.

Summary :

Common Java Project development environments are: JBuilder, VisualAge for Java, Forte for Java, Visual Cafe, Eclipse, NetBeans IDE, JCreator +j2sdk, jdk+ Notepad, Editplus+ j2sdk and so on.

When developing a Java EE project, it is necessary to install the application Server (middleware) and the corresponding Java development tools for each company, and before using them, we should be familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of these software to select the application according to the actual situation. Programming tools are just tools, in order to facilitate people's work and development, each has its own characteristics, so the choice of tools based on what they will be engaged in the field is what, rather than blindly think that Java development tools, Java development tools is not good. Finally, I hope that everyone can find their own appropriate Java development tools.

Java Development Tools
