and right click on the wsdl file and say "Generate Client". The wizard
that comes up eventually asks me about things like the server type and
then if I click Finish tries to startup Tomcat and Axis. Why? Shouldn't
"Generate Client" simply do what WSDL2Java does but with a useful wizard
to it? What am I missing about WTP?

Hi Michael,
"Web Services -> Generate Client" does more than just calling WSDL2Java. It
creates a Web project if the project does not already exist, creates a
server, associate the project with the server, calls WSDL2Java to generates
the client stub, optionally allows the user to test the Web service by using
the sample JSP or Web Services Explorer, and finally allows the user to run
the test on the server.
If you prefer not to start up Tomcat, you should not check the "Test the Web
service" check box on the first page. This would just generates the stub.
If you still want to generate the sample JSP but not start the server,
deselect the "Run test on server" check box on the Web Service Client Test
page.
Hope this helps!

As a user I would find that a little bit overkill for a client
application (i.e. something to use Google's web services).

Hmm... I turned both of those off and it still attempts to startup Tomcat.
I've kludged what I was after by building a custom build.xml that calls
the ant-wsdl2java task that axis adds and adding its output to the
project by hand, but I'd rather it be less kludgy. Just $,02 from a user....

Michael,
the choices on the first page of the wizard are supposed to let you ask the wizard
to skip any steps you don't want, such as server startup. The intent behind the
wizard is to allow anything from basic WSDL2Java codegen up to complete deployment
and testing, thus meeting the varying needs of folks that are building Web
services and clients. The Window->Preferences->Web Services->Scenario Defaults
preference page is also there to help you set your options once.
All that philisophical stuff said, we have an item lurking in our M4 milestone
plan [1] to get the "Start..." (aka. "Run...") checkbox on page 1 working
properly, since it isn't behaving itself too well now. Feel free to also open a
bug [2] to report the problem.
