Introducing Sun Web Developer Pack

Sun Web Developer Pack (SWDP) is a new integrated toolkit from Sun Microsystems that consists of a collection of Web 2.0 technologies that enable next generation Web application development. The toolkit consists of binaries, tutorial, documentation, samples (including source) to build your Web 2.0 applications and deploy them on industry-grade containers. It includes support for building rich user interface using Ajax technologies with Project jMaki & Project Dynamic Faces, light-weight Web services with Atom / REST APIs / WADL and server side scripting with Project Phobos. Check the system requirements to see the list of supported platforms, JDK versions, browsers, web containers and Ant. These applications can be hosted on Sun Java System Application Server 9.x, Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 U1, GlassFish v1 UR1, GlassFish v2 and Apache Tomcat 6. SWDP comes with NetBeans plug-ins that simplifies the design and development of Rich Internet Applications. These modules can be downloaded from NetBeans Update Center Beta with the name "Sun Web Developer Pack R1". Check out how to build jMaki and Phobos applications in a screencast.

• SDK + JDK - Need to download NetBeans separately
• SDK + NetBeans Enterprise Pack 5.5.1 Beta - Need to download JDK separately

After installing SWDP, it's recommended to view the latest online Release Notes. The binaries are accompanied by a comprehensive tutorial and an SWDP forum to post your questions. You can also view the list of SWDP bloggers or subscribe to the aggregated pipe.

You can view and download demos, samples, widgets and much more using these technologies here. Blueprints provide you guidelines and code for building these applications.
