Development software and deployment

After testing eclipse we thought that it was a little bit to slow and so we looked for other solution. We tested netneans, the interface is better and the software seems more powerful and reliable.

We wanted to deploy our website on a 1and1 account, but we had some issue with the deployment of a war file. So we decide to use Google App.

The next issue was the MySQL database... we have two different databases on different webserver, but none of them are accessible from the google app server. So we study the possibilities with the google app database but finally we chose for the moment to use a free mysql provider : DBFree.

With netbeans the deployment with google app is not automatically done and moreover we discover a nice plugin in eclipse for the interface : GWT Designer. So we decided to use Eclipse.

Summary :

- Eclipse

- DBFree provider for the database

- Google App
