What software do I need?

[Karin Paola Illuminate]

I bought the book "Head First EJB", and want to set up my environment.

They say that I will need : J2SE SDK 1.3 or greater and J2EE 1.3. I must not get the J2EE 1.4. I need J2EE 1.3.

But, I can't find a 1.3 version for Windows XP. Can someone give me a link where I can download the right version : J2EE 1.3?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to solve my problem. I installed J2SE 1.3 and J2EE 1.3, but I had a problem with a connection to my server (localhost).

I searched the web for more information, but I only could find solutions not supported by Sun.

I decided to follow the steps in this article, and installed J2SE 1.4 and J2EE 1.3. And, for some reason it worked. I had no connection problem with my localhost.
