Setting up my Development Evironment.

Spent the last couple of days working with my development environment. I am trying to set it up so i will be able to focus primarily on content generation and less on technical issues. I have decided to go with the "niche site" building idea, and try to create multiple streams of income via these sites and Google Adsense. Maybe i will build something else in addtion to the niche sites. Have so many ideas it's hard to pick one.

I am using the Eclipse | IDE and JEE5 as development platform with a MySql back-end. The MVC architecture is implemented with help of Apache Struts. I use Java because my previous experience working with JEE/JAVA has been good. It is quite complex, especially writing all the build scripts and XML witout the help of any tools. But it's a good challenge and i like that :-)

Just read an article with this title JEE5: the beginning of the end?. It is about the complexity of the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition that was suppose to have been to greatly removed with JEE5, but has failed to deliver. Well i hope that JEE5 will continue to live. The drawback with using JEE5 is the lack of cheap hosting. Hopefully that will change.

Accessibility has been alot on my mind lately, i beleive that is a very strong marketing tool and could create attention. Maybe not for a small niche site but something bigger.
