Installing Java, Maven, Tomcat, and Eclipse on Windows

We will first install Java 8. Then, we will install Maven 3, a build tool similar to Ant, to manage the external Java libraries that we will use (Spring, Hibernate, and so on). Maven 3 also compiles source files and generates JAR and WAR files. We will also install Tomcat 8, a popular web server for Java web applications, which we will use throughout this book. JBoss, Jetty, GlassFish, or WebSphere could be used instead. Finally, we will install the Eclipse IDE, but you could also use NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA, and so on.

How to do it…

Install Java first, then Maven, Tomcat, and Eclipse.

Installing Java

  1. Download Java from the Oracle website http://oracle.com. In the Java SE downloads section, choose the Java SE 8 SDK. Select Accept the License Agreement and download the Windows x64 package. The direct link to the page is http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html.
