After that, we shall create our first Tapestry
project??”a very simple one, just to make sure that everything works properly.
Creating Your Working
Environment
To create a working environment for Tapestry development, we need to:
Download and install the Java Development Kit (JDK), as we are going to do
Java development. Chances are, you already have a JDK on your computer,
but please check if you've got the correct version.
Download and install Maven. Maven is a very popular project management
tool, and Tapestry 5 projects use this tool extensively for many purposes,
from compilation of source code to deploying the complete application
to a server. You are not expected to know anything about Maven. All the
necessary instructions will be given in this book.
Download and install an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). There
are two excellent free IDEs, NetBeans and Eclipse. NetBeans is easier for
beginners, as creating a working environment with it involves fewer moving
parts. However, Eclipse is more popular. If you have chosen Eclipse, you
will also have to download and install a servlet container. Tomcat is the most
popular servlet container, so I will explain how to work with it.
