<p id="aboutfacet">In the Java EE 5 specifications, programming requirements
have been streamlined, and XML deployment descriptors are optional. Instead,
you can specify many details of assembly and deployment with Java annotations.
Java EE 5 will provide default values in many situations so explicitly specification
of these values are not required.</p>
<p>Code validation, content assistance, Quick Fixes, and refactoring simplify
working with your code. Code validators check your projects for errors. When
an error is found, you can double-click on it in the Problems view in the
product workbench to go to the error location. For some error types, you can
use a Quick Fix to correct the error automatically. For both <tm tmclass="special"
tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> source
and <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> annotations,
you can rely on content assistance to simplify your programming task. When
you refactor source code, the tools automatically update the associated metadata.</p>
