Re: [wtp-dev] "jst.utility" module type.

John,

I can assure you the "jst.utility"
module type is still very much alive.  I believe what you are referring
to as disappeared is the wizard
for creating default flexibile java
projects?  In WTP 1.0, you can just create a regular java project,
then if you want to add it an ear or
a web module as a utility, you just
use the new project properties page.  This will make the java project
a jst.utility typed component and
add the reference to the target web
module or EAR.   We are not planning to change the module types list
in WTP 1.0 from 0.7.  The only
change will be to add support for static
"wst.web" project creation.

StructureEdit is internal and should
not be used by clients.  Clients should use the Virtual Component
and Artifact Edit API.

Hope that helps,

Subject	[wtp-dev] "jst.utility" module type.

Can anyone explain why the the "jst.utility"
moduleType exension 
disappeared in M6?  The concept of plain Java 'utility' modules seems
quite useful to us here at Cape Clear. 

If the concept has been permanently removed, can someone provide a 
rationale - I know this whole part of WTP will be heavily refactored 
post M7, but it is a little unclear to me how much of the existing 
approach will be preserved.  e.g. will the StructuredEdit model survive,
and if so, how many module types will WTP provide 'out-of-the-box'?

Any pointers/info much appreciated...

John.
