The Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) Incubator Project provides tools for development that are just getting started, or are experimental in some fashion.

For most uses, we recommend web-developers download the "all-in-one" package, Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, from the main Eclipse download site.

These are the prerequisites to build or run these packages. All are not necessarily required, but instead some subset. Also listed are some frequently needed links for committer-required packages when creating new development environments, or targets to run against.

Note that WTP requires Java 5 or higher (and, for some things, actually requires a JDK rather than only a JRE) even though many other Eclipse Projects can run with other JRE levels.

These are archive versions of P2 repositories that can be downloaded and installed into a development environment or PDE target. Its is recommended to install, rather than to to unzip the traditional packages, since it is more informative of missing prerequites or conflicting dependencies.

The Zip files includes the features and plugins for XQuery Development Tools Note: These traditional zip files should be considered deprecated, in favor of using the archived P2 repositories. The tradtional zip files will one day disappear.
