Dear friends,

I am new to the Eclipse/MyEclipse development world and have been scouring through many of the online helps and tutorials, but am having a little trouble grasping exactly what tool(s) I need or should use for certain projects.

For example, here is what I need to do and am not sure what’s the best roadmap to take.

1. We are converting legancy Microsoft Access applications over to a MS-SQL / Java – web based environment

2. I have already converted the Access databases/tables over to SQL and have successfully setup DbExplorer with the DB Connection, no problems there.

3. Now I need to convert the front-end application (forms and reports) into a Java / Web based environment and am not quite sure which tool(s) to use to create the database application with.

Is there a centralized overview of each tool / plug-in making up the MyEclipse environment that can guide me as to what kind of project I should create and which tools are best for database web applications within our company?

I saw a good example on the Eclipse.org website – but the steps didn’t match the MyEclipse available options (i.e. to setup a Dynamic Web Project)

http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-EclipseDbWebapps/index.html

If you need more information, let me know and thanks in advance.

Jeff,

What tools and plugins to use is internal to project requirements. I would recommend you to go through myeclipse educational material here – http://myeclipseide.com/module-htmlpages-display-pid-7.html
This will give you an idea on MyEclipse IDE features. You can also look at sample example on demand projects which are available along with MyEclipse IDE. Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Example on Demand. This will open – Examples on Demand browser. You can click on [install] button and check out the sample project to your project explorer.

Best.
