			<description>
				Several enhancements are introduced to the Servlet
				wizard. The most noticeable are:
				<ul>
					<li>
						Initialization parameters are now displayed in a
						table view. The user can easily see parameter's
						name, value and description.
					</li>
					<li>
						Servlet mappings are now validated. If a user
						enters an invalid servlet mapping, then an error
						message appears and the wizard cannot be
						finished.
					</li>
				</ul>

						A wizard page with modifiers, interfaces and
						abstract method options
