Title Body

The Java Preferences application on my OS X Lion workstation indicates that I have Java SE 6 v1.6.0_29-b11-402 installed (both 32- and 64-bit versions).

The Oracle/Sun version seems to include a lot of extras (e.g. Glassfish) that I would prefer not to install. Can I install the core SDK w/o the extras? Will Tomcat 7 work as an alternative to Glassfish? ** edit ** This question is a result of another question that I posted: RESTful web service: java.lang.NullPointerException service.AbstractFacade.findAll .

This led me to conclude that I needed the 'Enterprise Edition' of Java 6 (which would have the missing .JAR file and other dependent files). I suppose if there was a way to determine which .JAR file is missing (Netbeans 7 doe
