 			<li>Launch the Eclipse WTP workbench.</li>

 			<li>
 				From the main menu bar, select

 				Web Services Explorer application.

 		<h2>Explanation</h2>
 		<br />
 		<p>
 			The Web Services Explorer is a JSP Web application hosted on
 			the Apache Tomcat servlet engine contained within Eclipse.
 			It is integrated into Eclipse on two levels: visually by
 			virtue of it running in the embedded browser, and logically
 			by virtue of it running as a thread in the Eclipse JRE.
 			Though not demonstrated in this scenario, this latter type
 			of integration allows the Web Services Explorer to access
 			resources in the workspace, write resources into the
 			workspace, and launch various Web services wizards.
 		</p>
 		<p>
 			The Web Services Explorer provides three key services to the
 			user:
 		</p>
 		<ol>
 			<li>
 				Comprehensive support for discovering Web services in
 				WS-Inspection 1.0 documents, and in UDDI v2 or v3
 				registries using the UDDI v2 protocol.
 			</li>

 			<li>
 				Comprehensive support for publishing Web services to
 				UDDI v2 or v3 registries using the UDDI v2 protocol.
 			</li>

 			<li>
 				Comprehensive support for browsing and invoking Web
 				services natively via their WSDL and XSD.
 			</li>
 		</ol>
 		<p>
 			<img border="0" SRC="resources/note.gif"
 				alt="Note: " />
 			<br />
 			A key point of the scenario above is that no code was
 			generated and no servers were required in order to invoke
 			operations on the WSDL.
