Here's how I installed it. 1) I installed Europa from the release download page. 2) I added GMF and STP to my update sites. The GMF page gives the link to the update site in the place where it claims to have a link to instructions for the update site. 3) I installed the STP tools and the alarmingly enormous set of dependencies. 4) I tried to enable JAX-WS on an existing project, in spite of broken links in the eclipse online help and inaccurate menu references. 5) It crashed with an NPE. 6) I submitted bug reports. 7) I posted a complaint to the eclipse foundation newsgroup about the reliable unreliability of these addons, which I'm sure will have a lot of effect.
I didn't try to create a fresh, new, JAX-WS project from scratch. > -----Original Message----- > From: gdprao [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2007 7:37 PM > To: cxf-user@incubator.apache.org > Subject: RE: Eclipse STP installation process > > > The STP plugin flash demo > http://download.eclipse.org/stp/documents/europa/stp_europa_servicecreat io > n_jaxws.htm > is pretty impressive.
