Are there resources for developing Java EE applications in NetBeans + GlassFish and Intellij Idea + GlassFish?

Question

Java

Good day.

There is a desire to independently learn how to develop JEE applications.
As an application server, I decided to study GlassFish, but I haven’t decided on an IDE yet.
NetBeans is geared towards GlassFish, but IDEA is pretty damn good. From here I have two questions:

1) What IDE is better to develop under GlassFish?

2) Please tell me good video courses, blogs and sites on my topic.

Many thanks in advance to all!

Answer 1

actually it's not all that important. Any server connects to any ide in a minute or two, then there will be no difference in the first stages.
As an option, I would advise you to start with Tomcat.

Answer 2

Yes, I would take a tomcat. Also would not look towards heavy application servers. This is a nightmare for developers, everyone scolds them and tries to migrate to other web application servers. A lot of hemorrhoids, about the proc - it is very doubtful

Answer 3

I can recommend a good book by David Heffelfinger "Java EE 6 and the GlassFish 6 Application Server". It is not tied to a specific IDE, but in my opinion this is even a plus.
book on amazon
There is also a Russian version of the book.

Answer 4

I can advise you to experiment with JBoss AS 7, it works very fast. Compared to glassfish.

Answer 5

For Java Idea, netbeans is an order of magnitude better for professional development.
Especially in j2ee!
