    "I'm recommending
    this to

    Examples On-Demand: Genuitec has launched Examples On-Demand, a new web site to provide software developers a rich and ever growing catalog of ready-to-run example applications that demonstrate how to use popular programming technologies and frameworks, such as Ajax frameworks, JSP, JSF, Struts, Spring, Hibernate, JPA and EJB3.  Each of the Examples On-Demand example applications are designed to run directly on the server-sandbox provided in MyEclipse 6.0 with zero configuration and can be downloaded directly into MyEclipse 6.0 with a 1-click installation process.

    Examples On-Demand include:

    • A working example is worth more than a 10,000 word tutorial
    • New examples added weekly
    • Installs in seconds using Examples On-Demand Browser
    • Examples run on the MyEclipse Server Sandbox with zero configuration
    • From the insight of running and experimenting with an example developers quickly gain confidence that they can replicate the successful experience in their own application of the same technologies and frameworks
    • Developers can use the Example On-Demand examples as templates for creating their own applications
    • All example code is open-sourced under the Apache 2 license allowing developers to reuse any of the examples code for their own purposes with no additional open-source requirements
    Examples On-Demand Browser:

    MyEclipse 6.0.1+ provides an integrated Example On-Demand Browser. The Examples On-Demand Browser is an innovative application of rich internet application (RIA) technology that enables you to seamlessly browse online example applications and then rapidly download, install and run those example resources from directly within the MyEclipse workbench in a matter of seconds.

    Launch the Examples On-Demand Browser from the MyEclipse menu; click the Examples On-Demand menu item:

    Examples On-Demand Browser operates directly within the MyEclipse workbench window. When it opens, you can browse the example projects complete with descriptions of their function and the technologies they use.
