I appreciated mike donaghy's tutorial on using "eclipse web tools"
which i believe to be really IBM's initial contribution to the project.

https://www6.software.ibm.com/developerworks/education/os-wt pservice/os-wtpservice-4-1.html

and i wanted to attempt to follow through on my own but became confused
because of the descrepancy between what he described and what is
available via the eclipse wtp downloads. i tried everything from 1.0m1
to the latest stable integration build, and i couldn't get a "right
click -> web services -> create web service" on a java file.

I did get the message that wtp is a vast staggered deliverable, but it
wasn't clear to me if the "create web service" functionality was
supposed to be included in the latest round of functionality or to be
delivered in a subsequent deliverable.

can someone help me to understand.

thanks,
tony.

Web services functionality will be included in the M3 milestone of the WTP
project. The current milestone plan is available at
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/development/planning/milesto ne_plan_1_0.html.

cool, thanks for the reply.
can i get my hands on the initial ibm contribution somewhere
so i can take advantage of that in the meantime?

by the way, i'm completely psyched with the project,
and hats off to the awesome "code elves" that are working this effort.

i've been using wsad (now rational something or other) at work for
the past couple of years, but about a year ago i started picking
up eclipse for open source work on the side and i shortly realized
how much you get with wsad that you don't with eclipse. i did eventually
find sysdeo, lomboz and xmlbuddy, which are excellent in their own
right, but it's even way cooler that there is a coordinated effort to
bring a unified set of tools to the eclipse platform with wtp.

it's the best christmas present ever, thank you santa ;)

Hi Tony,

The original contributions have been removed as the focus is now on
getting people to use the code in the repository. That said, there is a
lot of Web services code already in the CVS repository (see the ws
component under both the WST and JST subprojects) that isn't included in
the build yet. If you want some Web services functionality today extract
the code from CVS and give it a go.

thanks lawrence,

forgive my newbie-ness, but i don't have any experience working with
source code for eclipse plugins:

(1) if i obtain the wtp source from cvs should it compile by itself,
or will i have to obtain various other jar files (e.g. eclipse related)
to resolve external references?

(2) assuming i can get it to compile, what do i need to do to get my
eclipse installation to see it? do i have to export it in a certain form
and place it in my plugins directory? or is there some way to have my
eclipse instance see it from within one of it's own projects?

any guidance appreciated.

thanks,
tony.

ok, never mind the generic eclipse questions, i realize this isn't the
forum for that.

if anyone can provide any useful artifacts for building wtp web services
elements from source that would be greatly appreciated, for example:

(a) a broader dot-psf file which includes web services elements and
their dependencies

(b) an ant script which builds the source into a format suitable for
deploying to the plugins directory

as an aside, i would like to get a flavor for the functionality of the
original ibm contribution, so if anyone has a copy of it and wouldn't
mind firing it off to me in an e-mail that would be cool.

thanks,
tony.
