Okay, I finished the Users Guide on web development. I skipped EJB for now since the Java development at our shop is still in its infancy, we are not going to do any EJB for a while.

I created some JavaBeans and successfully called them thru JSP. From the console, I can see the IDE deployed and loaded the files to JBoss smoothly, and that is great.

Now my questions are:
1. Why doesn’t the IDE allow me to create a package with the convention like com.simon.whatever? When I created my JavaBeans, the package name must be either default or a name without period.

2. I know I asked this question before but please allow me to ask it again. Is there any plan to provide a more complex tutorial on web application than the current HelloWorld servlet? Currently, the developers in our shop are using various development tools….. from JBuilder 8 to IntelliJ/SOFIA to SunONE Studio to of course Eclipse. If I am going to convince them to drop those tools and use MyEclipse, I need something more than the current tutorial. A good tutorial will help me tremendously, especially when I am (as well as my colleagues) still pretty new to Java development, I don’t fully understand the power of MyEclipse. I hope I am not nagging too much on this issue. =)

Thank you very much.

Simon,

1. Why doesn’t the IDE allow me to create a package with the convention like com.simon.whatever? When I created my JavaBeans, the package name must be either default or a name without period.

All the Eclipse and MyEclipse wizards will allow you to specify a fully qualified package name to any level of depth you want. Just use the wizard and type it in as you want it: com.simon.whatever

Is there any plan to provide a more complex tutorial on web application than the current HelloWorld servlet? … I hope I am not nagging too much on this issue. =)

You’re not nagging, you’re just pointing out something we already know. 😉 Documentation of how to use all the great stuff in MyEclipse is still being worked on. We plan on releasing more intricate tutorials in the future, but it’s really a resource balancing issue at this point as to when the work will be done, but we will get to it.

By the way, if any of our users have written tutorial or examples for internal use by their teams, we’d love to be able to post them on the site for others to benefit from them also.
