Maven is a better choice than Ant for big projects. I would suggest to know about Ant also since most of the JEE freshers will be starting to work on a relatively small projects and Ant will definitely help them in that. @alwajdi

Yes. Maven is a better choice than Ant for big projects. I would suggest to know about Ant also since most of the JEE freshers will be starting to work on a relatively small projects and Ant will definitely help them in that.

It's important for one to understand the java objects and collections.It adds meaning every time you read through these books . Give yourself some real challenege by taking up some test in javablackbelt.com and get a couple of belts . It's really tough , believe me. 2.Grab a latest copy of Head First Servlets and JSP , it's really a cool book .Understand the basic web project and it's structure. 3.Install Tomcat , try out the samples . Hello World would be a good start.Don't use a IDE for these . Learn to write code in text pad or any text editor and compile it manually. 4.Learn Ant build and give yourself some time to write scripts to package , build and deploy WAR. The era of J2EE has passed by , with Java 6 having released , let's call it JEE. Cheerz, D My list would be some thing like this :

EE6 will be the first fully usable version of Java EE. It is also good to know the alternative stack for places that are alergic to standards. Get good at core Spring DI, Hibernate, Wicket and Struts 2. I`m not sure if the rest of Spring is worth learning.
