------------------ WTP support ------------------ Fabrizio Giustina ------------------ 22-01-2006 ------------------ WTP support The eclipse plugin supports creating configurations for eclipse WTP (Web Tools Project). Projects with a WAR packaging are setup as WTP dynamic web projects and runtime dependencies are configured to be used when running them using eclipse internal servers. * WTP 1.0 warning Unfortunately WTP 1.0 has been shipped bug which prevents external dependencies from work. <> Apart from this, WTP 1.0 also has a grave performance regression which makes internal server pretty unusable, so we suggest to avoid using the 1.0 release. The bug is now fixed for the 1.0.1 release, expected for February, 2006. You can already download a working copy of WTP from {{{http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/}http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/}} ("Released Maintenance" for Eclipse 3.1 or "Integration Build" for Eclipse 3.2) * WTP versions In order to create a configuration for WTP you need to specify the version of WTP you are using. The plugin actually supports WTP R7 and 1.0 (actually, 1.0 means you need 1.0.1 according to the above note). Note that R7/1.0 configuration files are totally different, so be sure to check the version you are using. In order to generate WTP configuration files simply run: +-----------------------------------------------------+ mvn -Dwtpversion=R7 eclipse:eclipse +-----------------------------------------------------+ Where wtpversion can be <<>>, <<<1.0>>> or <<>> (default)
