| <title>Tooling</title> |
| <para>Virgo Tools support the Virgo runtime with tools for managing servers, server runtimes, and bundles. The IDE |
| tools build on top of the Eclipse Web Tools Project (WTP) and collaborate with other Eclipse technologies such as the |
| Eclipse Libra project. |
| </para> |
| <para>Among other things, the Virgo Tools support the creation of new OSGi bundle and PAR projects within Eclipse, and |
| the conversion of existing projects into OSGi bundle projects. Projects can then be deployed and debugged on a running |
| @umbrella.product.name.short@ from within Eclipse. |
| </para> |
| <para>Besides its OSGi bundle projects, starting from version 1.5 Virgo Tools support usage of Plug-in Development |
| Environment (Eclipse PDE) for developing projects that can be deployed and debugged on a running @umbrella.product.name.short@ from within Eclipse. |
