choice a jdk

[xbl12]

Hi;
I want to download a jdk which it can use in the industry, and it can do compile and run and develop web application and connect with database.

and i found JDK 6 with Java EE, JDK 6 with NetBeans 5.5 and NetBeans IDE do some thing, so it make me hard to make a desicion.

Could you which one is more popular to use in the industry, please.

The current JDK is version 6. This will allow you to develop applications that can connect to a database (among other things).

You can also develop a web application using JDK 6, as long as you also have the servlet/jsp api that normally comes with your servlet container of choice.

Only look into J2EE if you intend to develop applications that use for example EJB or JMS.

Netbeans is an IDE offered by Sun for developing various applications.
