Java on the Cloud

[khakman]

As of March 24, 2009, anyone using Aptana Studio as a plugin to Eclipse can deploy Java apps to the Cloud via Aptana Cloud Connect. Aptana Cloud Connect integrates Aptana Studio/Eclipse with your cloud hosted Java apps. It lets you instantly put Java projects and apps into to the Cloud, then manage those apps though development, staging/testing and production cycles. Right now, you can also try the Java service for free.

Java developers and teams can easily get started with new new projects without the headaches of setting up hardware, installing software, or configuring networks (or waiting in line for the IT department to get around to your request). As this short screencast shows (http://tv.aptana.com/videos/java-on-the-cloud) , you just click the "Deploy to Cloud..." button and in about 2 minutes you've got resources provisioned, complete with Tomcat, mySQL, source control and more all ready to use and integrated right into the IDE. This makes Aptana Cloud Connect ideal for web projects that use Servlets, JSP, JSF, Spring, or other Java web technologies that can be packaged as .war files. And once an app is deployed, allocating more RAM or storage to scale the app is as easy as dragging and dropping a slider. For apps architected to run across multiple machines, private IP addresses in the data center provide for speedy network connections.

strange, my Aptana Studio does not have a "Dynamic Web Project", the screen cast for how to create a JavaWeb App is completely incompatible with my Aptana build 1.2.6.024313. Am I missing something?
