WTP 2.0.3 has been released. It is a maintenance release of the Europa version of WTP. This is a relatively minor maintenance, fixing only 8 bugs, but they were 8 especially bad bugs! See the release page for details.

If you already have a previous version of WTP 2.0.x installed, you can go to the menus Help, Update Manager, Find and Install, and select "Search for updates of currently installed features".

WTP 3.0.0 has been released as part of the Eclipse Ganymede Release. There has been many bug fixes, incremental improvements for end-uesrs functions and new APIs and packages for adopters, but the following are some of the larger, more noticeable contributions made to WTP 3.0:

• A new JavaScript IDE, called JSDT, provides the same level of support for JavaScript as the JDT provides for Java. Some of the new features include code completion, quick fix, formatting and validation. All the functions are, naturally, aware of libraries you specify for your project.
• Improved support for enterprise projects -- especially noteworthy are UI support for Java EE 5: new wizards for Servlet Filters, Application Lifecycle Listeners, Session Beans, Message-Driven Beans; meta-data descriptor trees in the Project Explorer; and Bundled Libraries support for EAR projects.
• Dali Java Persistence Tools has an expanded UI including a new Persistence.xml editor, new Entity and XML Mapping File wizards and JPA specific contributions to the Project Explorer. Dali has also improved configuration and validation with support for mapping with annotations, XML, or with a combination of annotations and XML.
• The JSF Tools Project has added features to improve web application development productivity. The release provides visual editing support for Apache MyFaces Trinidad components and enables support for future JSF 2.0 (JSR-314) enhancements such as Facelets.

WTP 2.0.2 has been released as part of the Europa Winter Maintenance packages. This release addresses serious defects present in release 2.0 as well as improves upon its stability and performance. Individual zip downloads and all-in-one bundles for frequently used configurations are also available.

WTP 3.0 milestone M5 has been declared. Check out what's New and Noteworthy and download it now! Please note that the list of pre-reqs has changed slightly, and that they should always be installed first.

We are proud to announce the first milestone of the XSL Incubating Component from WTP.

This feature adds XSL Launch Configurations, XSL Editing and Debugging, and XPath Navigator/Tester to the capabilities of WTP (or, WST). While there's room (and plans!) for improvement, we think everyone who uses XSL will find it useful already in this first milestone ... and certainly worth you trying it out, opening bugs and enhancement requests and getting involved with the effort!

This is the first milestone of the WTP Incubating Project, which began last Fall. It well demonstrates what a few dedicated volunteers can accomplish at Eclipse, namely Doug Satchwell, David Carver, and Jesper Møller. Great job guys!
