Importing the sample application
We encourage you to import the chapter02.00-calendar project into your IDE, and follow along by obtaining the source code from this chapter, as described in the Getting started with JBCP calendar sample code section in the Appendix, Additional Reference Material.
For each chapter, you will find multiple revisions of the code that represent checkpoints within the book. This makes it easy to compare your work to the correct answers as you go. At the beginning of each chapter, we will import the first revision of that chapter as a starting point. For example, in this chapter, we start with chapter02.00-calendar, and the first checkpoint will be chapter02.01-calendar. In Chapter 3, Custom Authentication, we will start with chapter03.00-calendar, and the first checkpoint will be chapter03.01-calendar. There are additional details in the Getting started with JBCP calendar sample code section in the Appendix, Additional Reference Material, so be sure to refer to it for details.
