Eclipse WTP is back 
Before Eclipse 3.1 release the final version, the WTP project’s key develoepr, BEA, was saying that, due to the conflict with the 3.1 APT, the WTP project will be delayed till end of this year. However, in the Eclipse 3.1 release announcement, it said the WTP will be release a new version in July. It is true now. The WTP released a new milestone, M5. The M5 includes some new enhancements, such as:
- Support for Apache Geronimo, BEA Weblogic 9.0 and IBM Websphere 6.0.x servers.
- Enhanced JSP validation and support for JSP 2.0 Expression Language.
- Many refinements on Jar and Ear dependency management.
- Wizards to import and export EJB. Optional caching of DTD and other internet retrieved files.
- Templating support for DTD and CSS.
The WTP M5 is able to download here.
Eclipse WTP renumbered from 1.0 to 0.7.

My biggest problem with M5 is that you need to put your jars in WEB-INF/lib. I don’t want to be dictated where I must put my jar files. The tool should copy jar files from my build path to WEB-INF/lib at deployment time. I will stick with MyEclipseIde for now, although I will look at WTP in the future.

I also found that the M5’s version number changed from 1.0 in M4 to 0.7, looks very strange.
