What's the big deal with setting up a "JVM Environment"? Working with Scala for me involves the latest Scala distro and a copy of VIM. Is there something in particular that makes it so painful that I"m missing?
- davelnewton 16y agoYes--there's more to setting up a JEE stack then getting a JVM and a language running.
- prodigal_erik 16y agoI sometimes do "yum install tomcat6; sudo rctomcat6 start; emacs foo.jsp" just to dink around with the odd corners of the servlet API (I'd do it in Eclipse if it weren't such a pig). You can just ignore a lot of the painful ceremony that JEE wants to inflict on you.
- davelnewton 16y agoSure, if you don't need it. The bulk of my JEE work is somewhat more complex than "dinking around with the odd corners of the servlet API".
- democracy 16y agojee stack is a set of specifications, you never "install it" or "set it up"
