What you need for this book
You will need the following software to follow the examples:
- Java JDK 1.5+ (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html)
- PrimeFaces latest version (http://www.primefaces.org/downloads.html)
- MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/) or any other relational database that has a JDBC driver
- Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org) or any of your favorite Java IDE
- Apache Maven build tool (http://maven.apache.org/)
- Browser tools: as we are going to learn a lot more about UI design using the PrimeFaces component, it would be really helpful to have tools such as the FireBug plugin for Firefox or Chrome Developer Tools for the Google Chrome browser
