Eclipse Web Tools Platform

The Web Tools Platform (WTP) Project is, in many ways, an Eclipse success story. The goal of the Eclipse community and the Eclipse Foundation is twofold:to cultivate both an Open Source community and an ecosystem of complementary products, apabilities, and services. Over the past two years, this project has made great progress on both fronts. WTP has been adopted by a broad crosssection of the industry as the platform for their Java EE and Web tools: BEA WebLogic Workshop, CodeGear JBuilder, Genuitec’s MyEclipse, IBM Rational Application Developer, JBoss IDE, and SAP NetWeaver, to name just a few of the prominent ones. (You can read the full list in Chapter 16.) By any measure, WTP has been very successful in achieving its goal of providing a common tool nfrastructure for the Java EE development world.<br>
