   <p>
  	The purpose of this document is to provide information about WTP's capability definitions.
  	Eclipse capabilities allow users to select the function they are using and filters out
  	perspectives, views, menu contributions, etc. from the user's workspace based on the
  	capabilities that are selected. The Eclipse capabilities preference page can be located
  	at Window-&gt;Preferences...-&gt;General-&gt;Capabilities.
  </p>
  <p>
    The initial set of WTP capability definitions is based on the capability defintions in the
    Eclipse SDK.
  </p>
  <p>
  	The capability definitions descibed below were composed from comments on <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=110940" target="_top">bug 110940</a>.

   <p>
    Capabilities can define dependencies on other capabilities. This allows for the enablement
    or disablement of capabilies with the selection of other, dependent capabilities. To illustrate
    this we can look at a simple example where two capabilities, A and B, are defined. In this example
    B requires A. Enablement of B requires the enablement of A, which will happen automatically when
    B is selected. Similarily, the disablement of A will also disable B.

  	The WTP capabilities are defined with the following dependencies:<br/>
