The Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project is a prominent Eclipse project that provides a range of tools for creating Java-based web applications.
One of the striking features of WTP is its collection of source editors, which include editors for HTML, Javascript, CSS, JSP, SQL, XML, DTD, XSD, and WSDL. The graphical editors for XSD and WSDL are a noteworthy addition.
In addition, WTP comes with J2EE project natures, builders, and models, as well as a J2EE navigator. The Web service wizard and explorer provide a seamless experience when developing web services. WS-I Test Tools, which are included in WTP, facilitate testing of web services.
Finally, WTP doesn't fall short in providing database access and query tools and models, which make integration with database management systems seamless.
WTP is an excellent tool for developers looking to simplify the entire process of developing Java Web applications. Its numerous tools cater to virtually all aspects of web app development, making it a worthwhile investment.
