All of them are available as part of the OpenESB-NetBeans bundle. Chapter
2 deals with the information that you need to quickly get started with these tools.
Getting Started
In Chapter 1, we discussed some general SOA concepts related to building scalable
enterprise applications. As we discussed earlier, there could be different ways of
implementing enterprise applications using different tools available in the market.
In this book, we will restrict our views on SOA to designing web services and focus
on the BPEL orchestration to perform complex business processes. We will build
Java EE-based web services and BPEL-based processes using the NetBeans IDE and
SOA tools available with NetBeans. Any detailed discussion on any tool, apart from
the SOA tools, could be considered as out of the scope for this book and is left to the
reader to compare and understand the differences.
In this chapter, we will discuss:

Setting up the environment
NetBeans projects
