A must have for J2EE developers working on Eclipse. -- Valentin Crettaz, Val's Blog

The open source Eclipse has proven to be a best-of-class, extensible application development framework. Out of the zip file, Eclipse offers many tools for developing Java applications including wizards, unit testing, debuggers, and editors. However, these tools do not support the development of enterprise applications.

Up until this point, an enterprise developer using Eclipse had to spend a large amount of time locating and evaluating plug-ins to build a suite of enterprise tools. The Eclipse Web Tools project has changed that by providing a comprehensive tools kit for developing enterprise applications called the J2EE Standard Tools (JST). JST along with WST (Web Standard Tools) will make Eclipse a much more complete application development framework for Java developers.

"Pro Eclipse JST" will cover these J2EE Standard Tools in detail. It's essentially a wide range of plug-ins for developing and integrating Servlets, JSPs, EJBs, and more that most other enterprise Java developers use on a daily basis into the Eclipse framework and IDE for use and professional practice.

WinRunner In Simple Steps is a book dedicated to filling the gap in knowledge in automated testing. WinRunner has long been the leading product in automated testing but lacks the library of books that other industry-leading tools have. This book intends to fill that void by providing a gentle introduction to the concepts of automated testing generally and WinRunner specifically. Hakeem provides an in-depth review of the tool and uses detailed examples to teach you how to use WinRunner for your testing needs.

An ex-president crashes into an elderly pedestrian while driving drunk. A congressman beats a colleague senseless in the Capitol building. A presidential candidate dares the press to expose his affair and is promptly exposed. A district attorney prosecutes himself at taxpayer's expense. You might be surprised to find that none of this is fiction. These are all actions by individuals voted into our public institutions. In this book, authors Hakeem Shittu and Callie Query meticulously chronicle these tales of adultery, deception, drugs, murder, sex, stupidity, theft and treason as practiced by American politicians. The nonpartisan effort spans the formative days of the republic through recent times, relentlessly exposing political misdeeds and misquotes along the way. The result is sure to evoke laughter, shock, and amazement at the antics of those "esteemed" individuals that we elect to our public offices.
