WTP Tour | Presentation for EclipseSummit2006 | © 2006 by IBM, made available under the EPL v1.0 Abstract  Abstract: In this presentation, David Williams and Tim Wagner of the WTP PMC present an overview of the WTP project. WTP provides Eclipse users with ready-to-use tools for editing and deploying a wide range of applications built on web and J2EE technologies. For adopters, WTP provides a corresponding set of APIs and services with which vendors produce their own high-quality commercial and open source offerings. Attendees will gain a basic knowledge of the WTP tools and features, including some of the newest functionality being incubated for AJAX and Java TM Server Faces (JSF) tooling.
