Eclipse and Sun One Application Server

[Tony Walters]

Does anyone know of a plugin to use Sun One Application Server (now free!) with Eclipse. What Application Servers do folks reccomend (JSP/Servlets, EJB)?

[Lasse Koskela]

The Lomboz J2EE Eclipse Plugin is supposed to allow you to define your own server definitions in case your favorite appserver is missing from the list of built-in configurations (JBoss, WebLogic, WebSphere, Tomcat). I haven't tried creating a definition myself, though, so I don't know how easy it is wrt Sun ONE.
Regarding your question about "suggested application servers", I usually suggest the following two products:

JBoss (open source, pretty large user base i.e. support, up-to-date APIs)

WebLogic (market leader with WebSphere, nice tools and great documentation, up-to-date APIs, free development licences)
