Hi, I registered some time back but i've been away a long time and anyway i decided to rethink my learning pattern. so for that end i would like to start from scratch. i have a couple of questions that i would like to ask and would appreciate all the help i can get.
1) how can you manually install J2EE without downloading the application server bundle. the sun site sucks when it comes to explaining how to get other containers working (any links would be helpfull)I already have the J2SE Installed i want support for JSP and Java Beans and servlets. I would like to use Apache and tomcat.
2) whats the best IDE and Editor (IDE - Graphical click and drag interface, Editor - Hand coding with maybee code completion) it also must be light in memmory consumption.
3) Where do i start learning java other than the sun tutorials(I would like the best and easiest(I know its a paradox) that help you get down to the graphical part as soon as posible)
4) What other forums do you rank as your top 5
Thanks a Lot
