 <p>The <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/main.html">Web Tooling
 Platform (WTP) Project</a> is made up of two subprojects, <a
 	href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/wst/main.html">Web Standard Tools
 (WST)</a> and <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/jst/main.html">J2EE
 Standard Tools (JST)</a>.</p>
 <p>The <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/wst/main.html">Web
 Standard Tools</a> 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.</p>
 <p>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.</p>
 <p>The initial scope of the <a
 	href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/jst/main.html">J2EE Standard Tools</a>
 subproject will be to provide a to provide common infrastructure for
 developing applications based on J2EE 1.4 targeting J2EE-compliant
 application servers, as well as a more generic J2EE tooling
 infrastructure for other Eclipse-based development products.</p>
 <p>Tools provided will include a workbench 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</p>
 <p>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".</p>
 <p>The <a href="wtp_project_architecture.html">WTP Project Architecture
 Overview</a> provides a high-level description of the project and
 sub-projects with links to more specific component designs.</p>
