Hi!

WTP vs/or MyEclipse?

This might not be the right question to ask since MyEclipse uses some WTP
functionality.
However, MyEclipse has not come to be what I thought it would be - a tool
for J2EE.
Now they seem to add more and more functionality outside of this scope
(Matisse, Bugzilla and so on).

My question is rather: if I want a tool for developing J2EE application (web
applications) with xhtml/css/javascript, jsp/servlets/..., deployment,
debugging etc - is WTP sufficient or do I need a tool that builds on top of
it?

Regards,
Jimisola

Just a short analysis on MyEclipse. MyEclipse is 90% a mixture of
already existing OSS plugins.
It is based on an old version of the WTP (they are currently moving to 1.0)
their db stuff spring stuff etc... all existing plugins with extra
functionality added by them, the same goes for the javascript stuff.
As for the direction of myeclipse. You just have to check out their road
map, they still are moving strongly along the J2EE road, it just was
that one of the hugest requests for years have been a decent UI builder
for client side apps.
Their next release will be centered around WTP1.0 integration, better
JSF support and Matisse from what I could gather (usually the road maps
are pretty correct)

As for your needs.
So you can get around 80-90% of the functionality without it.
As for your needs, from what I saw from the 1.0.x wtp and web standards
tools, it should be sufficient.

And of course you can use WTP directly - version 1.0.2 is nearly final
and is slated for release later this month.

Another option is to use commercial tools that focus on J2EE and Web
Application development. The Eclipse Awards
( http://www.eclipse.org/org/foundation/eclipseawards/winners. php)
include several offerings in this area, including the Best Commercial
Developer Tool winner, BEA Workshop Studio 3.0.
