Tooling
Stack Platform Tools
• Supporting all Java development is big task
• Tools help enable support
– Centrally solve problems once for many
– Focus expertise
– Bring uniformity to Java development
• Two main categories of tooling:
– Support for thirdparty tools and platforms
• Documentation, Training, Troubleshooting, etc.
– Custom tools
• Usually integration work

Custom Tool Modularity
• Custom tools are modular
– Can be used outside of “Stack” projects
– Independently Releasable
– Independently Documented
– Minimal Dependencies
LDSTech IDE
• Some problems are best solved with IDE help
• The Stack tools are IDE agnostic
– We are best equipped to support Eclipse
• Why Eclipse?
– Free
– Large plugin ecosystem
– More stable future than NetBeans
– Customizable product builds
LDSTech IDE Features
• Preinstalled plugins

Tomcat 6 preinstalled
• Plugin to simplify Tomcat Dev configuration
• Tie configuration of plugins with Maven
• Optimal Configuration Defaults

Stack Starter
• Stack Starter is a templating application
• Produces a preconfigured project:
– Fully functional
– Uses supported tools
– Can provides a simple demo
• The generated application is yours to evolve
• “Stack” upgrades simply update tool versions not
configuration
• Stack tools are still useful without Stack Starter
• The only tool assumption Starter makes is the use of
Maven
