Hi guys, I'm still new to Spring and I haven't done Java dev in a while. I'm current a .NET developer.
My question is, what is the proper setup for a local development environment? I understand I need the latest JDK, and Eclipse/NetBeans. But do I also need a web server like Tomcat?
Are there articles about how to wire up Eclipse, Spring and Tomcat together into a seamless development environment?
I'm used to having Visual Studio's built-in web server, Cassini. I just write my code, then hit Debug and it's all up and running for me. With Java, it's a little more hairy. Any help would be much appreciated.
