For this course, you are required to use a tool/environment that supports:

• OASIS XML Catalogs for schema validation.

• XSLT Transformation, version 1.0

• XML Schema validation

• Java 1.4.2 SDK (see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html)

• Tomcat (or some other J2EE compliant servlet container).

• Ant for builds.

• XHTML compliant browser: Mozilla, Netscape 7.x, Firefox, Thuderbird, Opera (i.e. not Internet Explorer).

XMLSpy IS NOT ALLOWED. IT IS VERY BROKEN!
