Also, is there a specific Java and J2EE versions that are a must to start using Stripes and follow the book?
Stripes requires JDK 1.5,
Servlet 2.4, and
JSP 2.0. That's all that is required. The code bundle for the book includes all the required dependencies for the code to work.
The rest is up to you, whether to use Ant, Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ, etc. in your development environment.
