title: J2EE installation on Mac OSX
body: <p>I'm kinda stuck with compiling a Servlet in Eclipse on Mac OSX 10.10. Code doesn't matter here - it's a simple HelloWorld example. Point is, I need to install J2EE for this and I have a hard time figuring out how.</p>
  
  <p>Now - I went to oracle's web page</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/downloads/java-ee-sdk-7-downloads-1956236.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/downloads/java-ee-sdk-7-downloads-1956236.html</a></p>
  
  <p>and downloaded the .zip file. Turns out to be some kind of application server called Glassfish. I don't need this. I don't want this. (I wanna deploy my app on a Jetty) Whatever. But where's the J2EE?</p>
  
  <p>In the documentation it reads</p>
  
  <pre><code>To Install the Software
  
  The following procedure describes how to install the SDK distributions using the ZIP file.
  
  Download the distribution file for your platform from the Java EE 7 SDK Downloads page.
  
  Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the file.
  
  Unzip the file.
  
  Solaris, Linux, and Mac OS X systems:   unzip zip-file-name
  
  Windows systems: Unzip using your favorite file compression utility.
  
  The Java EE 7 SDK Update 1 or Java EE 7 Web Profile SDK Update 1 is extracted into a new glassfish4 directory under your current directory.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That's pretty much it: <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/documentation/javaee7sdk-install-1957708.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/documentation/javaee7sdk-install-1957708.html</a></p>
  
  <p>Yeah - the content looks like a bunch of examples, this glassfish-server-thingy, and some docs. </p>
  
  <p>Now how do I get from here to Eclipse compiling an <code>HttpServlet</code>-class??? Googled for an hour by now - nothing really helped :(</p>
