Which ECLIPSE subproject to choose to develop JSP, SERVLET and EJB?
Hi,
I am very new to JAVA. I want to find an IDE to start to learn and develop JAVA program.
I know Eclipse is a good one among all others. but when i browser their site, there are alot of sub projects and I dont know which one is right for me.
I want to develop JSP, SERVLET, and EJB using ECLIPSE IDE.
So could you give me some ideas which ECLIPSE project should I choose? And by the way, Is it true that Eclipse is free?
Thanks,

This part I can answer: *yes*. As they say themself:
"Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on providing a vendor-neutral open development platform and application frameworks for building software. The Eclipse Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation formed to advance the creation, evolution, promotion, and support of the Eclipse Platform and to cultivate both an open source community and an ecosystem of complementary products, capabilities, and services."
I use it, I like it, I have found it to be very powerful and flexible. It is not just for java but also is great for python, ruby, and almost can wash the dishes and fold the clothes. In short, highly recommended.
[url=http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/The_Official_Eclipse_FAQs#Getting_Started]Here[/url]'s a useful FAQ site for eclipse that has a good chance of answering all your questions.
I recommend that you download the standard eclipse SDK (download [url=http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/eclipse-SDK-3.2.2-win32.zip]here[/url]), and see where that leads you.
Good luck!
