java
in order to work with anypoint studio. java jdk 8 should be installed. either path to java should be specified in the path system variable or in anypoint studio configuration.
version control
i have never met a developer who did not use any versioning control system. the most popular are git and svn. i use for most of the projects git versioning system. each application that i am describing or building on this article is published on github.
dependency management
anypoint studio has an already-bundled maven installation. i prefer to have my own maven installation, as i know where it is installed and i can connect to the same maven repository from different ides.
testing toolkit
since we write restful and/or soap web services, we need a toolkit that allows us to test them. i use standalone postman for rest calls. i much appreciate the possibility to synchronize content between devices and share requests with the team. with soap web services, i use soap ui. it is a software that accepts wsdl file definition and generates sample requests. i also like that tool for mock features. i am able, just based on wsdl files, to test the service without actually calling a real implementation.
anypoint studio
when we have java, versioning control software, and maven installed, we may set up anypoint studio. first, you need to unzip the file that you have downloaded. start the application and select your default workspace.
