he Web Tools Platform (WTP) project is one of the more exciting components of the new Callisto product suite released with Eclipse 3.2. Based on contributions and participation from many major players in the Eclipse field, WTP provides a comprehensive suite of tools to assist developers working on J2EE Web applications, making their jobs easier and more productive.
WTP is actually composed of two sub-projects: the J2EE Standard Tools (JST) and Web Standard Tools (WST) projects. The JST project provides a rich set of tools aimed at improving J2EE development productivity, including feature-rich text and graphical editors for the different types of J2EE files, database access tools, and wizards for Web service development. The WST project provides integrated support for running applications on different Web servers from within Eclipse, allowing you to run and test your J2EE applications in a uniform manner no matter which application server you use.
