IDE

Whatever your preferred IDE is—Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ, Notepad, or Nano—you'll be able to use, modify, and run this book's examples. If you're confused, I recommend using NetBeans, as it's the community's fully-featured one, with the least configuration needed to get started with our book. Keep in mind that full support for Jakarta EE 8 may not be available yet for those IDEs when you read this book. However, all you need to do is to configure your application's server path to a GlassFish 5 edition. Even if your IDE cannot recognize Glassfish Version 5 yet, there are workarounds available to make it appear like version 4; you can Google it if you cannot configure Glassfish 5 with your favorite IDE.
