Java EE 8 Development with Eclipse - Third Edition

By: Ram Kulkarni

Overview of this book

Java EE is one of the most popular tools for enterprise application design and development. With recent changes to Java EE 8 specifications, Java EE application development has become a lot simpler with the new specifications, some of which compete with the existing specifications. This guide provides a complete overview of developing highly performant, robust and secure enterprise applications with Java EE with Eclipse. The book begins by exploring different Java EE technologies and how to use them (JSP, JSF, JPA, JDBC, EJB, and more), along with suitable technologies for different scenarios. You will learn how to set up the development environment for Java EE applications and understand Java EE specifications in detail, with an emphasis on examples. The book takes you through deployment of an application in Tomcat, GlassFish Servers, and also in the cloud. It goes beyond the basics and covers topics like debugging, testing, deployment, and securing your Java EE applications. You'll also get to know techniques to develop cloud-ready microservices in Java EE.

Chapter 3. Source Control Management in Eclipse

In the previous chapter, we learned how to create simple web applications using JSP, JSF, and servlets. We also learned how to use Maven for build and project management.

In this chapter, we will learn how to integrate Eclipse with SVN and Git. The chapter covers the following topics:

  • Installing Eclipse plugins for SVN and Git
  • Performing source control tasks such as checking out files, committing changes, and so on from Eclipse
  • Synchronizing projects with remote repositories

Source Control Management (SCM) is an essential part of software development. By using SCM tools, you make sure that you have access to versions of your code at important milestones. SCM also helps to manage the source code when you are working in a team, by providing you with tools to make sure you do not overwrite the work done by others. Whether your project is small or large, whether you are working alone or in a large team, using SCM would benefit you.
