  -<li>
  - Create a new project (from the Project Manager window)

  -<li>
  - Download (or build for yourself) the required jars<br />
  - (See the jakarta-struts-1.1-b2/webapps/struts-example.war)

  -</li>
  -<li>
  - Create a build.xml for your project (so ant can build and war it for you).
  - I recommend you use an existing file to get a jump start on development.
  - Actually, I recommend you re-use someone's entire existing project.  That
  - will surely get you ahead of the game.
  -</li>
  -<li>
  - Mount that directory<br />
  - <i>If you specified the build classpath and the jars are there, NetBeans 
  - will mount the jars for you automatically.</i>
  -</li>
  -<li>
  - Mount each of the source directories that you wish to work in
  - /myproject/WEB-INF/src
  -</li>
  -<li>
  - Always work in the node in #6 when modifying your java files.
  -</li>
  + <li>
  +  Create a new project.<br/>

  +  </li>
  + <li>
  +  Now let's create (or reuse) a directory to hold the project.
  +  What I did was copy the struts-example.war from the Struts distribution
  +  and extracted it (using Winzip) like this:
  +  <br/>
  +  <img src="../images/how-to/netbeans/directory.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
  +  </li>
  + <li>
  +  Next we need to create a build.xml to build our project.  This file will sit in the root<br/>
  +  directory of your project. (Actually, it doesn't matter where sits so long as you make <br/>
  +  the appropriate changes to directories and such.)<br/>
  +  <br/>
  +  *Note - I will not spend any time here trying to convice you why you should be <br/>
  +  using Ant to build your projects.  I guess I consider this to be obvious.<br/>
  +  Here is the build.xml file I use for this demonstration (you MUST modify this <br/>
  +  to use your environment):<br/>
  +  <pre>

  +  If specified correctly, Netbeans will parse the build.xml automatically and will use <br/>
  +  (mount jars) the resources that you've declared for building.<br/>
  +    <img src="../images/how-to/netbeans/building3.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
  +  </li>
  +  <li>
  +    I usually get rid of the additional mounted directory under /WEB-INF/classes.  <br/>
  +    Since everthing there gets overwritten with each build, I don't usually need to<br/>

  +    <img src="../images/how-to/netbeans/building4.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
  +  </li>
  +  <li>
  +    In order for Netbeans to understand the package structure for our source code, we need<br/>
  +    to mount all source directories directly.  <br/><br/>
  +    *Note - Some IDEs will do this automatically <br/>
  +    (Eclipse) or can be configured from the project config file (JBuilder)<br/>
  +    <img src="../images/how-to/netbeans/building5.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
  +    <img src="../images/how-to/netbeans/building6.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
  +  </li>
  +  <li>
  +    Use your source mount point to add/edit/delete your .java files<br/>
  +    <img src="../images/how-to/netbeans/building7.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
  +  </li>
  +  <li>
  +    Using the initial mount point, expand until you can right-click on the build.xml file (or one<br/>
  +    of the targets) and build the project<br/>
  +    <img src="../images/how-to/netbeans/building8.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
  +  </li>
  +  <li>
  +    If you receive errors from Netbeans (choking on the XML parse), don't worry, I did too.<br/>
  +    I always call ant on the command line anyway, so I don't worry too much about the IDE's <br/>
  +    internal XML jars.<br/>
  +    <!--[:TODO:] finish this section with solution to Netbeans ant/xml incompatibility woes--><br/>
  +    <img src="../images/how-to/netbeans/building8.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
  +  </li>
  +  <li>
  +    Feel free to change the code as you like, and then build and deploy your new app.
  +  </li>
  +  
   </ol>
  -<p>
  -I'll also take this opportunity to tell you that I recommend using Eclipse.  I
  -was a NetBeans advocate for the longest time, but a few weeks ago several
  -discussion had prompted me to try out Eclipse, and I can say without a doubt,
  -that it is much more mature an IDE than NetBeans.  And since they are both Open
  -Source.....hey....why not?
  -</p>
  -<p>
  -One definite advantage Eclipse has over NetBeans is that Eclipse is built using
  -SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit).  That means that the IDE is written in Java, but
  -the underlying framework uses native JNDI calls the OS API.....or, in other
  -words......"its fast as Hell on windows".
  -</p>
  -<p>
  -Anyone who has left NetBeans running in the background overnight on a laptop
  -knows the pain of doing an Alt+Tab back to the IDE and seeing how Swing pulls
  -its rather large A## up from the swap file....heh heh :)
  -</p>
  -<p>
  -Hope that will help you get started.  I was planning to post a how-to for doing
  -this and a few other tasks with NetBeans, Eclipse, and JBuilder.  I even have
  -quite a few screenshots taken, but I just haven't finished it.
  -</p>
  -<p>
  -Good Luck with it!!!

  <p>
  * DISCLAIMER - This simple How-To shows you one of many ways to setup a working project using<br/>
  the Struts framewoek.  This is mainly geared toward struts users who are new to Eclipse, and<br/> 
  don't want to spend a lot of time figuring out the differences between their old IDE (if any)<br/>
  and this one.<br/>
  <br/>
  I will also apologize ahead of time for the formatting of this page.<br/>
  </p>
  <br/>
  In this How-To, I will demonstrate (using Eclipse 2.0.1) how to setup, compile, run,<br/> 
  and debug the struts-example web application that is bundled with the distribution.<br/>
  
  Next, I will modify the code to pull some data from a MySql database using the popular <br/>
  relational mapping tool OJB. (This is actually quite simple)
  
  </section>
  
  <section name="Let's get started">
  Before we begin, you will need to create a directory somewhere to store your project.<br/>
  I typically use C:\personal\development\Projects\(some project)<br/>
  Once that's done, extract the struts-example.war to that directory <br/>
  (using your favorite zip utility)<br/>
  <br/>
  Delete the META-INF folder because this will be created during the build/jar/war process.<br/>
              
  Add a build.xml file to the project root.  I use something like this:
  
    <pre>
    
    &lt;project name="Struts Example" default="main" basedir="."&gt;
    
      &lt;!--  This is a basic build script, only the minimums here --&gt;
      
      &lt;!-- Tell ant to use my environment variables --&gt;
      &lt;property environment="env"/&gt;
    
      &lt;property file="./build.properties"/&gt;
    
        &lt;property name="build.compiler"     value="modern"/&gt;
        &lt;property name="build.dir"          value="./WEB-INF/classes" /&gt;
        &lt;property name="src.dir"            value="./WEB-INF/src"/&gt;
      &lt;property name="servlet.jar"        value="/Apache_Home/jakarta-servletapi-4/lib/servlet.jar"/&gt;
        &lt;property name="war.file"              value="struts-example"/&gt;
        &lt;property name="war.file.name"      value="${war.file}.war"/&gt;
        &lt;property name="tomcat.home"       value="${env.CATALINA_HOME}"/&gt;
        &lt;property name="deploy.dir"         value="${tomcat.home}/webapps"/&gt;
    
      &lt;path id="project.class.path"&gt;

      <ol>
          <li>
              Create a new project.<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style01.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              New Java Project<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style02.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              Browse for the folder you created for your project.<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style03.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style04.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              Eclipse will detect your source folders from any subdirectories under your project.<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style05.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              In our case, this is where the src folder was placed.<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style06.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              Default standard libs are automatically added depending on the type of project.<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style07.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              Add the existing web app jars.<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style08.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              Now we need to add a few jars from the file system.<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style09.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              We always need this one (servlet.jar)<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style10.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              Ahhhh...everything looks ok for now.  You can always go back and modify these settings <br/>
              later.<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style11.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style12.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              When everything settles down, you should see something like this (of course, it might 
              look different depending on your installation/customization):<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style13.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              Compilation warnings and errors are detected immediately.  In this screenshot, I drill down<br/>
              into the source folder, package, file, class, and double click on the method....which <br/>
              brings up the source editor.  I hover the mouse over the affending warning to see <br/>
              a description of what' wrong.<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style14.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              I changed ApplicationConfig to ModuleConfig, then saved and now I see new errors.<br/>
              You can right click and import ModuleConfig right from the error.<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style15.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              A quick look at the import section.<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style18.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              Right click, Source, Organize Imports<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style20.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              Ahhhh...better<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style21.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              From the Package Explorer, right click your build.xml and run Ant:<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style22.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              Is this cool or what?<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style23.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              Oh crap!<br/>

          </li>
          <li>
              Quick look at what jars are being used to process my build.<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style26.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style25.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              I simply removed all the existing jars from the IDE's Ant configuration and<br/>
              added all from my own installation.<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style27.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              Cant't forget that last one<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style28.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
          </li>
          <li>
              Everything went ok (for me)<br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style30.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
              <img src="../images/how-to/eclipse/developing-eclipse-style29.jpg"></img><br/><br/><br/>
