> CMP Mapping | Developers can browse database tables, select related tables and automatically generate Container Managed Persistence (CMP) EJBs.
> Server Runtime Control | Developers can easily register both local and remote application servers and start and stop application server instances.
> Resource Configuration | Before deploying applications, developers can register J2EE resources in any of the registered application servers. JDBC[tm] resources and connection pools, JMS resources, and a variety of other resources can be configured from within the IDE.
> Application Deployment | Developers can select from the list of registered application servers and leverage the dynamic ("hot") deployment and redeployment features supported in Sun ONE Application Server 7.
> Debugging and Log Viewing | Debugging against deployed applications on both local and remote application server instances is simple. No manual configuration of the application servers is necessary. While debugging applications, developers can also view the server event log files from within the IDE.

> Proceed to Setting Up Your Development Environment to either install the Sun ONE Studio 4 IDE or to configure an existing installation of the IDE to work the application server.

> The IDE plug-in also supports deployment of applications to the new version of Sun's Application Server called the Sun Java System Application Server.
