What you need for this book

The book is based on the Windows Install of Studio Edition of Oracle JDeveloper 11g. Therefore, you need to download and install JDeveloper 11g (jdevstudio11110install.exe) from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/soft11.html. The Windows Install requires Windows XP, 2003, or 2000. If you have Linux, the book may still be used (though it has not been tested with Linux) with slight modifications with the Linux Install. For example, the directory paths on Linux would be different than those of Windows used in the book. Other than Oracle JDeveloper 11g, you would need chapter-specific software. For example, for Chapter 11 you would need the Apache FOP binary distribution, for Chapter 12 you need to download the Apache POI HSSF API, for Chapter 13 you need to download Oracle Berkeley DB XML, and for Chapter 14 you need to download Oracle Database 10g or 11g and Oracle XML Publisher Enterprise 5.6.2.
