| Sun Web Developer Pack (SWDP) is a new integrated toolkit from Sun Microsystems that consists of a collection of Web 2.0 technologies that enable next generation Web application development. The toolkit consists of binaries, tutorial, documentation, samples (including source) to build your Web 2.0 applications and deploy them on industry-grade containers. It includes support for building rich user interface using Ajax technologies with Project jMaki & Project Dynamic Faces, light-weight Web services with Atom / REST APIs / WADL and server side scripting with Project Phobos.
Check the system requirements to see the list of supported platforms, JDK versions, browsers, web containers and Ant. These applications can be hosted on Sun Java System Application Server 9.x, Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 U1, GlassFish v1 UR1, GlassFish v2 and Apache Tomcat 6. SWDP comes with NetBeans plug-ins that simplifies the design and development of Rich Internet Applications. These modules can be downloaded from NetBeans Update Center Beta with the name “Sun Web Developer Pack R1″. Check out how to build jMaki and Phobos applications in a screencast. |

Simplify development of your Web 2.0 applications with this all-in-one download.

You can download SWDP as a stand-alone bundle and install on a supported Web container. Alternatively, you can download SWDP bundled with Java Application Platform SDK Update 3 Preview. The SDK bundle can be downloaded in three different flavors:
- Only SDK – Need to download JDK and NetBeans separately
- SDK + JDK – Need to download NetBeans separately
- SDK + NetBeans Enterprise Pack 5.5.1 Beta – Need to download JDK separately
After installing SWDP, it’s recommended to view the latest online Release Notes. The binaries are accompanied by a comprehensive tutorial and an SWDP forum to post your questions. You can also view the list of SWDP bloggers or subscribe to the aggregated pipe.
You can view and download demos, samples, widgets and much more using these technologies here. Blueprints provide you guidelines and code for building these applications.

Arun,
The link you have for REST APIs (http://developers.sun.com/web/swdp/docs/OnePagerREST_APIs.html) is invalid. Could you please post the correct address?
Thanks!

is anyone having installation problems with swdp? I tried installing it a couple times and it’s stuck at 80%, while it’s (integrating wadl). Any ideas?

David, thanks for reporting the broken link, it is now restored.
Kaufman, I’ll be releasing a screencast showing the installation process next week. I’ve installed it couple of times last week and it worked both the times.

David,
Which OS are you running this on and which web container did you choose to integrate on?
Also, are there any errors in the log file (Sun_Web_Developer_Pack_install.*). Also check the log file for integrating (log.details) as this may show the problem.

Actually I have gotten it figured out. My problem seems to be specific to windows. I needed to do the following 2 things, then I could install swdp fine:
- cleaned up the productregistry* files in my c:\windows\system32 folder.
- run a registry cleaner (e.g. ccleaner) to remove some bad registry leftover by previous bad install.
Rebooted my windows machine and then the install went fine.
Similar problem happened to me for Sun Java Platform SDK (J2EE) windows installer. This tells me the installer definitely needs some improvement.
