<conbody>
<p>The Web development environment provides the following high-level capabilities:
<ul>
<li>Dynamic Web project creation, using the Java EE-defined hierarchy, or
a static version that reduces project overhead when dynamic elements are not
required. Static Web projects can later be converted to dynamic Web projects.<p></p></li>
<li>Creation and editing of a Web application deployment descriptor (<filepath>web.xml</filepath>)
file<p></p></li>
<li>JSP and HTML file creation, validation, editing, and debugging<p></p></li>
<li>An extensible view, called the Snippets view, which allows users to catalog
and organize reusable programming objects, such as HTML, <tm tmclass="special"
tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." tmtype="tm" trademark="JavaScript">JavaScript</tm>,
and JSP markup, along with files and custom tags, that can be embedded in
existing files<p></p></li>
<li>Dynamic tag help (content assist) , which displays tag usage and attribute
information for HTML, JSP, and <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc."
tmtype="tm" trademark="JavaScript">JavaScript</tm> tags based on cursor location
