 <description>
 The Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) project extends the Eclipse platform with tools for 
 developing J2EE Web applications. The WTP project includes the following tools: 
 source editors for HTML, Javascript, CSS, SQL, XML, DTD, XSD, and WSDL; 
 graphical editors for XSD and WSDL; J2EE project natures, builders, and models and a J2EE navigator; 
 a Web service wizard and explorer, and WS-I Test Tools; and database access and query tools and models.

	&quot;Web Tools&quot; is big, very big, so big that it could encompass everything. So

<section class="main" name="WTP Subprojects">
 
 <doublesection name="Web Standard Tools (WST)" link="wst/main.html" icon="../images/Adarrow.gif">
    The Web Standard Tools subproject aims to provide common infrastructure available to any 
    Eclipse-based development environment targeting Web-enabled applications. Within scope 
    will be tools for the development of three-tier (presentation, business and data logic) 
    and server publication of corresponding system artifacts.  Outside scope will be language 
    or web framework specific technology, which will be left to other subprojects like the J2EE 
    Web Tools subproject.<br/><br/>
    Tools provided will include editors, validators and document generators for artifacts 
    developed in a wide range of standard languages (for example, HTML/xHMTL, Web services, 
    XQueries, SQL, etc.)  Supporting infrastructure will likely comprise a specialized workbench 
    supporting actions such as publish, run, start and stop of Web application code across target 
    server environments.
 </doublesection>
 <doublesection name="J2EE Standard Tools (JST)" link="jst/main.html" icon="../images/Adarrow.gif">
    The initial scope of the J2EE Standard Tools subproject will be to provide a basic 
    Eclipse plug-in for developing applications based on J2EE 1.4 targeting J2EE-compliant 
    application servers, as well as a generic J2EE tooling infrastructure for other Eclipse-based 
    development products.<br/><br/>
	Within scope will be a workbench providing a framework for developing, deploying, testing 
    and debugging J2EE applications on JCP-compliant server environments, as well as an exemplary
	implementation of a plug-in for at least one JSR-88 compliant J2EE Server. Included will be a 
    range of tools simplifying development with J2EE APIs including EJB, Servlet, JSP, JCA, JDBC, 
    JTA, JMS, JMX, JNDI, and Web Services. This infrastructure will be architected for extensibility 
    for higher-level development constructs providing architectural separations of concern and technical 
    abstraction above the level of the J2EE specifications.<br/><br/>
	The integrated workbench to be delivered would support use cases such as - Develop a JSP page, 
    Enhance the "PetStore" blue-print application, Expose a Session Bean as a Web Service.
