SAP NetWeaver Application Server, Java EE 5 Edition
At the May 2006 JavaOne conference, SAP, together with other vendors, showcased a preview of the new Java EE 5-compliant SAP NetWeaver application server, which contained a subset of Java EE 5 specifications.
The JavaOne preview exemplified the server’s powerful capabilities and its adoption of plugins that are widely accepted by the Java community.
The server was accompanied by SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio based on the open-source development tools from Eclipse 3. It featured Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) plug-ins for Web and Java development rather than SAP’s own proprietary tool solutions, highlighting the open-standards approach of the new application server.
Now, a fully compliant demo version, which has evolved beyond the JavaOne preview version to contain all Java EE 5 specifications, is available for download from the SAP Developer Network at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/library/uuid/cfc19866-0401-0010-35b2-dc8158247fb6. The new server is the predecessor for the next release of SAP NetWeaver and is designed to integrate seamlessly with previous SAP NetWeaver installations.
With the SAP NetWeaver Application Server (SAP NetWeaver AS), Java EE 5 Edition, you can develop Java EE applications based on the new Java EE 5 standard as well as migrate existing J2EE applications.

Download and Installation of Sneak Preview Version of SAP Netweavewer Package
To understand more on SAP Netweaver Portal, it is a good idea to download and install the Sneak Preview version of the SAP Netweaver 04 (the latest one is SP15).
To download this Trial Version, you can go to: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloads.
Just follow the installation guide in the installtion package.
Here I give you the list of items that you are going to install with the installton package.
1) SAP Web Application Server
2) SAP Enterprice Portal
3) SAP Content Mangement and Collaboration (not included TREX)
4) SAP Netweaver Developer Studio
5) SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure
6) SAP Composite Application Framework including Guided Procedures
7) Interactive Forms based on Adobe Software
Based on my own experience, although it is only required 1Gb RAM to run the portal, but I suggest you to have 2GB RAM in your system to install this. As you will see some undesirable result and waiting time to get some things load and execute by have just 1 GB RAM.
(especially when you have about J2EE engine, database, 3-5 portal browser with heavy memory execution, and your Netweaver Studio up running).
Good luck for the trial!
