Hey Johnny- Well...First, I assume that you are using CFMX Enterprise - Professional does not include a separate version of JRun.
Second, you need to have ColdFusion installed as a J2EE application on top of JRun - it is an entirely different installation process than the CFMX standalone. You might want to play around with this in a development environment first (you can do this with the Free CFMX developer's edition). It will require you to learn about deploying J2EE applications - not a bad thing - and you have to install things like Verity separately. Last, you do NOT need J2SDK. JRun will compile the servlets/JSP pages for you. However, if you are going to be developing in Java, you will definitely want to get a J2EE IDE. In the free realm, Eclipse (www.eclipse.org) is a great tool. In the not-so-free, you will probably like IntelliJ IDEA or there are even a number of IDEs out there that will make developing J2EE applications easier now. I have reviewed a couple - including Sun Studio and M& NitroX - at http://javaboutique.internet.com/reviews/ (scroll down to Product Reviews) Good luck! -Drew Falkman Team Macromedia - JRun -----Original Message----- From: Johnny Le [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 8:58 AM To: JRun-Talk Subject: JRun vs J2SDK? This is a beginner question. Please don't laugh :-) I am going to write a Java app. I have ColdFusion MX so I have JRun. I don't know exactly what JRun does what I use it for. Can I use JRun to compile my Java app or do I need to install J2SDK?
