WTP
is very convenient to use the Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers, but it is too large and I like to configure on demand. First, let's understand what WTP is. The
WTP (Web tools Platform) project expands on the Eclipse platform and is a toolset for developing Java EE WEB applications. WTP contains the following tools:
A source editor can be used to edit HTML, Javascript, CSS, JSP, SQL, XML, DTD, XSD, and WSDL.
A graphics editor is used to edit the XSD and WSDL.
The Java EE Project Builder and a Java EE Wizard tool.
A Web Service Creation wizard and manager, and the WS-I test tool.
A database access, a query tool, and so on. The
WTP consists of two subprojects: WST (Web Standard tools:web Standard toolset) and JST (Java EE Standard toolset), for more information, please refer to the website introduction: http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/.
installation
Of course you can download a single plugin from the website, install one at a time (the installation method can refer to here), more convenient way through the Eclipse plug-in update mechanism to do, I found an update on the Internet address: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/, in WTP's official web page (Http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna /) can also find the update address: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna/, which requires the latest eclipse Luna. I use the latter, installation steps:
1,eclipse-> help-> Install New SoftWare ... ;
2, in the pop-up window "work with" fill in: Http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/
3, you can see a lot of plug-ins
4, you can choose according to need, I mainly for the development of the web, so I mainly select the options in the Web
5,next, all the way to install can be completed;
6, configure Web server through Windows-> perferences-> server-> Runtime enviroments;
7, you can use Eclipse or maven to build a Web project, right-click on the project "Run on Server" to preview;
Now you can develop the Web, and if you need more plug-ins, you can select and install it again.
