    Hi Everyone,

    I am new to Java development (though have been developing software for
    many years).
    I am trying to setup a development environment so that I get familiar
    with the many packages that developers might be using for J2EE
    development.
    I will pretty much be concentrating on web applications so plan to use
    JSP/Java Beans/EJBs.
    I have been getting familiar with the basics of the language and
    manually compiling etc and now feel the need to use some 'proper'
    tools to make my life easier and prepare for multi developer projects.

    Initially I would like to restrict the list to open source products
    where possible (cos I am a cheapskate, and cos many do the job
    perfectly well)

    I am interested in
    1) Am I missing a section altogether ?
    2) Is there a better product/suggestion out there ?
    3) Do some of these overlap and therefore make some redundant ?

    Development Tools:

    Java IDE - NetBeans (http://www.netbeans.org)
                or Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org)
    Build Tool - ANT (http://ant.apache.org/)
    Version Control - CVS Server (http://www.cvshome.org/)
                      and WinCVS (http://www.wincvs.org)

    Testing:
    Functional Testing - Enterprise Web Test
    (http://sourceforge.net/projects/webunitproj/)
    Load Testing - dieseltest (http://www.dieseltest.com/)
    Bug tracking - Scarab ???

    Run Time components:

    Application Server - Tomcat
    Database - MySQL
    Web Server - Apache
    Taglibs - Apache Struts framework
    Alternate Compiler - Jikes
    Logging - Log4j

    I will dedicate a Linux box as a server and do my editing and testing
    from a Windows XP Pro box

    Thanks for taking the time to read the long post, and thanks in
    advance for any answers

    John D.
