WTP made my day.

Last year, early winter the I started to use the WTP[Web Tool Platform] that is 1.5

I really found it very interesting and useworthy! the web developement process really makes it reasonably faster, why?

1. WTP is compatible with Maven 2.0 Project Management,  just add <wtpversion> tag inside the plugin -> inside <configuration> to your pom.xml  “ <wtpversion>1.5</wtpversion>“ 

        run  mvn -Dwtpversion=1.5 eclipse:eclipse

        your project is not configured as a WTP project!

        ※Although, Maven 2.0 not yet supporting WTP2.0

    2.  Without WTP, using eclipse seems tasky, and sometimes takes time to choose/configure the appropriate Tomcat Systeo Plugin version that are compatible to Eclipse version you are using.  With WTP you just add your desired “Installed Server Runtimes” set the appropriate JRE they`re all set-up for you.

•  In the main add a new server
• Add and Remove projects
• Finish.

You can run your Web app with ease lifecyle. Adding deleting web Application becomes handy.  You can Add more than one projects at a time in one server, for example (front side , the website itself and the back-end, the administration site), although it is quite slow to initialize at first. 

     3.   Although a small part of Eclipse, I think it is reasonably important, the “Open Web Browser“, your in the same enviroment developing, after the server runs up, just click and run!
