WTP Community,

 

I recently received approval to put resources on implementing deployment
descriptor editors for standard Java EE module descriptors. We would like to
contribute this effort to Eclipse and develop in the open from the start.
The initial rough scope is form-based editors for web.xml, application.xml
and ejb-jar.xml for Java EE 1.4+. The editors would be built using Sapphire
<http://www.eclipse.org/sapphire/>  technology and present a unified view
over XML and all the relevant annotations. The editors would be relevant
even for projects where no XML-based module descriptors are used.

 

If time and resources allows (or other parties help out), the scope can
expand to cover the remainder of the Java EE module descriptors.

 

I will put together a more formal proposal for an incubator project under
WTP in the next few weeks, but I wanted to throw this out early to gather
feedback. I will be at EclipseCon next week, so if you are there and want to
get together to chat about this or anything else, send me a note.

 

Thanks,

 

- Konstantin
