In this chapter, we had a brief introduction to different JEE specifications for the presentation layer, business layer, and enterprise integration layer. We learned some of the important terminologies in Eclipse IDE. We then learned how to install Eclipse, Tomcat, Glassfish, MySQL, and MySQL Workbench. We are going to use these products in this book to develop JEE applications.
In the next chapter, we will configure the JEE server and create a simple application using servlets, JSPs, and JSFs. We will also learn how to use Maven to build and package the JEE applications.
