I've now downloaded Studio Creator, installed and started it. I managed to register my DataSource with MySQL (not listed by default). I also managed to shutdown the Sun App Server which had automatically started. I also managed to shutdown the pointbase database server, also started automatically
The I started looking for Tomcat, okay, so it's not included, there must be a way to add it as a App Server....well, if there is I can't find it. Looking around I then found the Studio Creator log file - I remember the issues I had trying to configure NetBeans and Eclipse to work and the endless exceptions reported just from starting the respective products...well Sun doesn't appear to have done any better: *********** Exception occurred ************ at Fri Nov 11 16:55:05 EST 2005 java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0 >= 0 at java.util.Vector.elementAt(Vector.java:431) at javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode.getChildAt(DefaultMutableTreeNode.java:23 0) at javax.swing.tree.VariableHeightLayoutCache$VisibleTreeStateNodeEnumeration.nextEl ement(VariableHeightLayoutCache.java:1676) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTreeUI.paint(BasicTreeUI.java:1121) at javax.swing.plaf.ComponentUI.update(ComponentUI.java:142) How come people ship this stuff and it's broken when you first try and run it. Reminds me of that old joke, how do you sink an Australian battleship? Put it in water. Coming from Australia I can tell jokes like this - no offence to other Australians of course... Well, I think I'll uninstall it and await NetBeans 5.
