I am using whatever version of Java 6 that ubuntu gives me. I'm pretty
sure it bumped up a version since I started this project, but I point
to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun which symlinks to the specific version
in-play.
I am an IDEA user, but I hide those details behind apache maven. If
you are unfamiliar with Maven, I would suggest you take a long, hard
look at it now, especially since you are starting a project and you
are bringing in Struts 2 / Spring / Hibernate. The details of which
versions are compatible with what are handled for you by maven,
eliminating an otherwise troublesome build process.
Now that I'm at work, I can give you the specific versions -
Struts 2 & all plugins - 2.1.6
Spring and all Spring modules - 2.5.6
Hibernate -
ejb3-persistence - 1.0.2.GA
hibernate-annotations - 3.4.0.GA
hibernate-commons-annotations - 3.1.0.GA
hibernate-core - 3.3.1.GA
hibernate-entity-manager - 3.4.0.GA
Since I am using JPA, I am working hard to make the JPA provider a
deployment detail. So, there is no hard dependency on hibernate
(thanks to Spring).
Although I am using the latest JDK, I have the target jvm set to 1.5.
When I run in tomcat, I issue either tomcat:run to maven, which runs
Tomcat 6.0.16. I have a server that I deploy to when I need to test a
real deployment and it is running Tomcat 6.0.18. I have used Tomcat
5.5.x before this project and I can assure you that Struts 2 / Spring
/ etc. work very well.
Again though, if you haven't looked at maven, I strongly suggest you
do so, learning maven will vastly speed up your dev time.
