Dictionary Application

5
Good Day! I have this school project and I need to develop a Dictionary Application. I asked a few people about the IDE that I should I use for this project, and mostly they told me that I should use a java based IDE specifically the Netbeans. My Inquiries are:

1.) Plugins. What Plugins Should I use? Is there Any Plugins that Needed?
2.) Searching/ Text Filter. I dont Know how to code this, please help me.
3.) Database. What DB should i use?
4.) References. May you give me some Reference Site?

I don't see any questions w.r.t. the functionality of your future dictionay? You're
like a carpenter asking for the right hammer without telling what to build.

kind regards.

I recommend Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8. It's free from Sun and a previous version was used in several Java courses I took at my local college. I'd also consider using a more recent free version from Sun, if any are available. Enterprise 8 works right out of the box, and I continue to use it for Java development of website building tools.

Oops, Sorry about that chief. My Bad. My Adviser Limit the proposal by Categorizing the Dictionary on a minimum of 10 specific fields. For example: Words that has something to do with Love. And also regarding with that, it is also has to be categorized on what kind of local dialect is that. Thanks for replying. God Bless.

Sir Chuck. With Regards to Java EE. Correct me if Im wrong. I Believe its specific use is for Servlets Development? By the way here are what ive been using:

-Netbeans IDE 6.1
-Java 6 update 7
-Java SE Dev 6

Beside from the Default Netbeans 6.1 Plugins I downloaded the ff:

Dictionary API
Dictionary GUI
Dictionary Editor.

But sadly, I dont know how to use it.

...But sadly, I dont know how to use it.
Are you saying, that you know Java but Netbeans confuses you or that you don't know Java? Because if so, you should start using a simple editor (in Windows something like Notepad, in Linux/Unix maybe gedit or vim) and the command line (Windows: "Start" -> "Run" -> "cmd", Linux/Unix: You should know) before you rely to much on an IDE. Then follow some tutorials like the ones you can find here.

If you do know Java, you'll have to just search for Netbeans tutorials - I'm sure there'll be some around.

By the way, if you do want to use an IDE, Eclipse is a pretty good one too. It's straight forward and effective, plus there are quite a few good plugins a.

Nan,

I haven't upgraded my IDE for a while, the upgrade path for Java Studio Enterprise 8 is to Netbeans 6, so you already have picked my choice. The Java Studio Enterprise had always used NetBeans as its foundation, so I think that Sun just merged the two groups together. Anyway, I would expect all of the Studio Enterprise features to be present in Netbeans, Java 2 EE, Java 2 SE, Servlets, Applets, and Applications, ... i.e. everything Java. Hmm... I really must do an upgrade myself.

see http://developers.sun.com/jsenterprise/

Best Regards,
Charles
