Dan, that's a good question. Here are a few tools to kick off the discussion. A back-end Java developer is familiar with the standard J2SE library and some sort of persistence like a database and how to manipulate it (JDBC, Hibernate, to name a couple). He will know the software development lifecycle including how to build (Ant and Maven are popular) and test code (JUnit is one testing approach) and how to use a code repository (Git, Subversion, PVCS, rcs, sccs).  What else? I'll pass the baton to my compadres here...

Happy 10th year, JCertif!
