  1. The Eclipse Web Tools Platform

  2. The Web Tools Project (WTP) • End user tools and APIs for Web and J2EE application development • WTP is two subprojects and one incubation project: • Web Standard Tools (WST) • J2EE Standard Tools (JST) • Java Server Faces (JSF) tools • Supports open standards from OASIS, the W3C, JCP, WS-I.org and others • Includes tools for open source and commercial products (Apache Tomcat, BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere) • eclipse.org/webtools

  3. Project history • Major milestones • Eclipse foundation creation review June 2004 • Full-time development since October 2004 • BEA joined the project leadership in February 2005 • Data tools moved to a separate project (DTP) in March 2005 • WTP 0.7 released July 29, 2005 • WTP 1.0 released December 23, 2005 • WTP 1.5 ~ July 2006

  4. Project themes • API declaration where appropriate • Simple to use – wizards, editing support • Large-scale development • User experience – dynamic help, graphical WSDL editor • Responsive UI • Seamless editing of resources • JDT-like features applied to other languages (HTML, JSP, XML…) • Flexible project layout • Vendor ecosystem support

  5. Web Standard Tools (WST) • Basic server tools • Support for server types and server connectivity (Web, DB) • Configure, publish, start/stop, debug • Structured Source Editor framework • Web Language Tools • HTML source editor • CSS source editor • JavaScript source editor

  6. Web Standard Tools (WST) • XML language tools • XML source editor • XSD source editor • DTD source editor • Facets – technique and UI for modeling server features • Web services tools • WSDL editor • Web service explorer • Web service wizard • WS-I test tools – validate WSDL and SOAP envelopes for WS-I compliance

  7. Server tools • Preferences pages to configure various server runtimes • Supported runtimes: • IBM WebSphere • Apache Tomcat • JBoss • JOnAS • BEA WebLogic • Highly extensible server frameworks • Supports generic server adapters and custom server adapters

  8. Server tools

  9. Structured source editors • Editors for: • XML • DTDs • HTML • CSS • JavaScript • JSPs • Includes the usual Eclipse editor features: • Syntax highlighting • Quick fix • Delimeter matching • Content assist

  10. XML tools • XML Catalog support – A repository for DTDs, XSDs, or any XML resource (WSDL, XSL, etc.) • Based on the OASIS XML catalog standard

  11. Web service tools • Graphical WSDL/XSD editor • Build WSDL and XSD files without knowing the XML syntax underneath • Visualize Web services – their interfaces, data structures, etc.

  12. Web service tools • Validation tools for XML schema, WSDL files, WS-I compliance

  13. Web service tools • Wizards to create Web services • Top-down – Start with a WSDL interface, go to code • Bottom-up – Start with code, generate the WSDL interface • Supports Apache Axis 1.2

  14. Relational database tools • Wizard to create live connections to database servers over JDBC • Supported servers: • Apache Derby / Cloudscape • DB2 • Informix • MySQL • SQL Server • Oracle • Sybase • You can add your own…

  15. Relational database tools • Database Explorer – View database schemas, tables, views, stored procedures and user-defined functions • Supports working in disconnected mode

  16. J2EE standard tools (JST) • Java EE core tools • Natures and builders • Java EE views and navigators • Java EE models • Java EE projects and modules • Flexible directory layout • Support for WAR files, EJBs, JARs, EAR files, etc. • Models and source editors for deployment descriptors • Java EE navigator view • Ability to target different servers

  17. J2EE standard tools • Servlet tools • JSP tools • JSP editor, HTML code assist, editors for Java, JavaScript, taglibs • JSR-45 compliant debugging • Java EE server tools – extend WST • Supports deploy, debug, project restart on Java EE runtimes • Generic server adapter • Custom (Java) server adapter for total control • JavaDoc annotation support • Extensible facility to define tagsets • Code assist in Java editors and builders for code generation

  18. J2EE standard tools • Wizard to create J2EE modules • Select a target server and J2EE version

  19. XDoclet support

  20. Standards support • WST: • HTML 4.0.1 • XHTML 1.0 / 1.1 • XML Catalogs 1.0 • CSS 2.0 • ECMAScript 262 • SQL99/SQL2003 • XML 1.0 • XML Schema 1.0 • WSDL 1.1 • SOAP 1.1 • WS-I basic profile 1.1, attachment profile 1.0
