First Cup 2.0 Plan

The First Cup project is a short introductory tutorial demonstrating some of the main features of the Java EE platform. First Cup 1.0 was created for the Java EE 5 release, and is bundled in the Java EE 5 SDK.

First Cup 2.0 will update the components to reflect the Java EE 6 APIs.

• A JSF 2.0 web front end.

Delivery

The First Cup 2.0 bundle will be integrated into the Java EE 6 SDK, with updates available through the GlassFish v3 Update Center. We will also post ZIP files at each milestone on the First Cup java.net site.
