jMaki series - 1

There has been quite some buzz about jMaki and Web 2.0 this Java One. There were atleast 7 or 8 talks/sessions or BoFs! That sure is a lot!

Well I've been trying to get started with using jMaki in my own space too. I thought I'd write my blogs as a series of journals as I go along.

First we need to setup the environment. We need an IDE, a jMaki plugin, and an application server.

Here are my preferences-

  • IDE: Netbeans (ofcourse!) I got NetBeans 5.5.1 Release Candidate, though its soon to be replaced with the much better version 6. But 5.5.1 will do for now for me.
  • IDE Plugin: NetBeans jMaki Plugin I downloaded the NetBeans Ajax Update center module and installed it in NetBeans. Once installed, I'll have access to the latest jMaki builds from the NetBeans IDE.
  • Server: GlassFish (ofcourse :))

Now using the update center, I installed jMaki plugin in my NetBeans IDE. There is also a screencast that you can watch.

Now I'm all set to start writing applications using jMaki.
