Apache tomcat, you have to select what version. In some companies are still using 5.5 as standard.:

java2ee:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/downloads/index.html
Netbeans:

Alternatively to Netbeans I recommend eclipse for development. There is a version specific for j2ee:

install MobileFirst 7.0 server (for test and production environment) with IBM Installation Manager

While I'm following the IBM Knowledge Center' guide to install a IBM MobileFirst 7.0 Server for production environment but that document is too simple for any newbees to handle it.
Can someone provide a more detailed guide and a MF 7.0 server download link so that I can use it as the local repository. Thanks in advance.
Only IBM Customers and Business Partners can download the server components.
These components can be download from either the IBM Passport Advantage website or the IBM Fix Central website.
Download IBM Installation Manager
Download the GM version of the release you'd like to install
Download the latest iFix version of the release you'd like to install
Download the latest supported version of WebSphere Full profile or WebSphere Liberty profile or Tomcat for the release you'd like to install
Use the IBM Installation Manager to install the above components (4, 2 and 3 in that order)
In the IBM Installation Manager go to File > Repositories and add them (consult the documentation how)
Start with installing WebSphere
Use again the IBM Installation Manager to install ontop of the previously installed application server (Tomcat, WebSphere or Liberty) the MobileFirst Server components; you will be going through a wizard
This step is not containable here as it varies and depends a lot on what you intend to use. Review the documentation.

Installing Glassfish tools in eclipse luna

Im trying to install Glassfish tools in eclise Luna but I keep getting this error message:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: GlassFish Tools 7.3.3.201412231459 (oracle.eclipse.tools.glassfish.feature.group 7.3.3.201412231459)
Missing requirement: GlassFish Tools 7.3.3.201412231459 (oracle.eclipse.tools.glassfish.feature.group 7.3.3.201412231459) requires 'org.eclipse.sapphire.feature.group [8.1.0,8.2.0)' but it could not be found
What should I do? Thanks.
It looks like they somehow messed up the plugin dependencies while packaging the plugin version which is currently referenced by the .
To fix it you have to install an slightly older version of the Glassfish Tools manually. To do this in Eclipse click on Help -> Install new software and put the following URL in the upper input field:
http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/12.1.3.1/luna/repository
Then click enter, after it has fetched the installable packages, choose the Glassfish Tools package and the Oracle Java EE Tools package (both should be version 7.2.0.xxx) and install. The installation can take a while because the oracle repository site is often slow.

"Main Not Found" starting Apache Geronimo

I am attempting to start Apache Geronimo using the command:
./bin/geronimo run
When I do this, it spins for a minute, issues the message "Main not found" and exits.
This article suggests that it is a system resource issue:
http://apache-geronimo.328035.n3.nabble.com/jira-Created-GERONIMO-5551-Failing-to-start-the-server-with-the-error-quot-Main-not-found-quot-td1324013.html
I have tried it on both an Amazon EC2 box (running Linux), and an Azure A1 box (running Windows Server), and I have tried the "Full Profile Release" and "Web Profile Release" of Geronimo, all with no change.
I'm at a complete loss as to what I could try. I am led to believe that the EC2 box, at the very least, should have the muscle to run Geronimo.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Version 3 of Apache Geronimo is designed to run on JRE 1.7 instead of JRE 1.8. As stated in the other answers, the issue was caused by Geronimo being run on JRE 1.7 instead of 1.8.
You are not limited to JRE 1.7 and earlier in order to run Geronimo though. Therefore, all you have to do is to rename or copy the property jre-1.7 in the file etc/config.properties in your installation to jre-1.8. Afterwards, you should be able to run Geronimo without an error.
This has a huge benefit, since now you will be able to run programs on Geronimo that use Java 8 features.
It turns out that the issue is that I had the wrong version of the JDK installed. I had installed the most recent version (8), but Geronimo apparently won't work with that. When I instead installed version 6, everything worked fine.
I was getting the same error with Java 8. I tried the latest version of Java SE 7 and that resolved the problem. So I wouldn't use Java 6, since it is and has been out of support for awhile now (read: security issue).

Cannot see the Glassfish adapter after installing plugin in Eclipse

I've installed Glassfish 3.1.1 and Eclipse Indigo onto a Win 7 machine but cannot add the Glassfish server via Eclipse's Servers view.
Oracle Glassfish Server Tools 1.8 is also installed but despite this there is no Glassifish entry in the list of avilable server adaptors.
I will continue to scour the web for a way around this but if anyone can advise I'd be grateful.
Thanks
You need to install the JavaEE development edition of Eclipse, and in that go to the Eclipse Marketplace where you can find and install the Glassfish adapter.
I had to restart eclipse two times before it appeared. This seems like a bug to me but I'm new in the Eclipse world

Creating a Mono binary install package for CentOS 5.2

I'm new to Linux but have to port a asp.net app to Linux platform. (CentOS 5.2)
I downloaded the mono source files and manually build them on my dev box, because there's no aviable Binary package for CentOS 5.2 (almost the same as RedHat), the app works well on the dev box.
The next step is to setup the production server, which has minimal libraries installed.
My question is... how to make the Mono binary files into a install package so I don't need to download and build them in the production server.
(My dev box is the same configuration as the production one)
I have tried to copy all mono related files into the server, but with no luck... May I missed some files or some settings...
You can still get binary RPMS here
EDIT:
Recently, Mono announced support for RHEL/CentOS. You can get packages from them here.
