Hi Sachin, I tried the plugin today. I am able to start the server and run my first simple application which is great! Here are some comments I have so far.
1) You probably already knew this - Download and Install button doesn't work yet. I went over to the eclipse update site, and didn't see any 1.1 features or plugins there. 2) I tried the new static content (I interpret that as html only) automatically republish feature today. It worked well! One thing I noticed is that after I made a change to the html file and save it, the server's state changed from synchronized to republish which indicated a republish was needed here. But actually it was not needed as I saw the changes in the browser right away without the republish. My guess is that you are getting the republish state from WTP framework when a change is saved in my project but this can be confusing to the users.

And is partially solved in this release. If you are working with static content only, if you open the server editor and select the "run resources from workspace" option, and restart the server and redeploy your app, any changes to static content dont require a republish and you can simply refresh your browser. I want to be able to run an entire ear from within the project without having to generate an ear, and this will take some work in the server to be able to do this. So currently this feature is restricted to stand-alone web apps with static only content.
