set up basic Hibernate development environment

Below are the recommended steps in getting started with Hibernate

Setting up the development environment
  • Make sure the appropriate JDK is installed. Hibernate Core 3.6 requires JDK 1.5 or higher (3.5 requires JDK 1.4 or higher).
  • Make sure an appropriate Maven version is installed. At the time of this writing, that means Maven >= 2.0.8. This is not strictly a requirement to use Hibernate, but would be needed to build Hibernate. If you wish to follow along with the tutorials as outlined below, they provide Maven poms to get up and running easily.
Download the latest production release of Hibernate from the Hibernate website at http://www.hibernate.org/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/hibernate/files/hibernate3/ and unpack the archive after download





Historically, Hibernate facilitated the storage and retrieval of Java domain objects via Object/Relational Mapping. Today, Hibernate is a collection of related projects enabling developers to utilize POJO-style domain models in their applications in ways extending well beyond Object/Relational Mapping.

Android Development Environment Setup with free ebook


Here we will show you how to get started with set up of developmentenvironment for Android so you can start creatingandroid-devprojects.Google has put out both the Android SDK and the Android ADT in order to help developers integrate Android into their dev environment as well as facilitate more Android development.
Step 1: Install the JDK
Most of you probably have the Java JRE installed, but Android requires the JDK “Java Development Kit” to compile Java programs. The JDK is available on Oracle’s Java webpage. Install the version of the JDK appropriate for your OS; the Java EE 6 bundle is recommended, but you caninstall any bundle you like so long as it contains the JDK.
Linux users: many Linux distributions come with an open source variant of the JDK, like OpenJDK or IcedTea. While you may be tempted to use these in support of open-source or for whatever reason, for maximum compatibilityinstall the official Oracle JDK. You may choose to ignore this warning, but you may end up encountering obscure, strange errors because of it; if you do, most likely it’s some minor difference in the two JDKs.
