Agenda

Eclipse BackgroundWTP OverviewWST Features

• Structured Source Editor (SSE) framework• HTML, CSS, ECMAScript editors• XML, DTD, XSD, WSDL editors• Internet tools• Basic server tools and framework• Web service tools and framework

JST FeaturesFuture Plans


Structured Source Editor Framework

Structured Source Editor Framework

• Light weight Framework for content based editing• Easily embedded in other (multi-page) editors• Easy to extend outline view, properties view, source

validation for “mark up” languages, content assist• Extensible: based on contentType and nested

contentType

• Model Text and DOM APIs• Fault tolerant, incremental parsing• Careful tracking of exact source locations• Translation from one source representation to another• Notification to keep models “in synch”


HTML Editing

• Wizards for file creation• Delimiter completion• As-you-type checking• Property editing


CSS Editing

highlighting• Presentation

preferences• “Hover” help• Smart insert

(closing delimiter, e.g.)


XML Editing

Basic Server Framework

• Models types of servers, installed server runtimes, deployable units (modules)

• Language- and deployment-neutral

• Provides extensible, vendor-neutral framework for implementing new server types


Server View

• Actions: start, stop, deploy, debug, add/remove modules

• View: current server status, module deployment


Server Framework (Provisional) APIs

• Module Providers• Add additional module types and “Run on Server” support• J2EE Tools

• Client App Providers• Provide clients for “Run on Server” operation• Web browser

• Client Users• Use API to configure and launch servers, check runtime target• Web Services, DD editors


WSDL Editor

• Graphical and source editing modes• GEF/EMF-based• Integrated XSD editor


Web Services Explorer

• Integrated Web application

• UDDI publish and query

• Dynamically execute WSDL


Web Services Tools and Framework

• Preferences• WS-I test tools

• Validate WSDL and SOAP for WS-I compliance

• Extension points for• Discovery• Develop / Assemble / Deploy / Install / Run• Test• Publish

Build Model

• Target: one directory per project per server type• No longer nested in workspace• “bin” directory back under user control

• Structure builder publisher step• No longer part of build step• Publishing can now do server-specific work

• Optional archive generation• Could be added to a custom publish step

• Project export still available (manual)


WTP Requirements Process

• Requirements group• Chaired by Jochen Krause, Innoopract (PMC member)• Participation by major WTP developers and consumers

• IBM, BEA, Oracle, Genuitec, JBoss• Bi-weekly telecons open to communityDelivers WTP requirements

document to PMC for each major release, summarizing themes, major goals, supported platforms

• Reviews incoming requirements for clarity, scope (c.f. charter), alignment with themes, target release, and priority

• Proposes release numbering and interaction with prerequisite releases

• wtp-requirements@ mailing list created to solicit community requirements

• Requirements tracked via Bugzilla


Architectural Harmonization

• RDB tools in WTP moving to new DTP project• Database server explorer• SQL scrapbook• Output view• RDB and SQL models

• 3.2 Platform alignment• Flexible project model (resource layer)• Operations, undo/redo, tabbed view, extensible

navigator• Other projects
