JOnAS WTP Adapter Overview

The JOnAS WTP Adapter is an extension to the Eclipse WTP package to provide improved support for the JOnAS application server. The standard Eclipse WTP package provides a generic adapter for JOnAS but it has some limitations which have been eliminated in the JOnAS WTP Adapter.

Since this package is provided as an extension to the Eclipse WTP package, the generic JOnAS adapter provided in the Eclipse WTP package is still available. The JOnAS WTP Adapter simply adds a new Runtime and Server type.

The ObjectWeb runtime contains the server types provided by the Eclipse's generic adapter. If you are using servers of this type and have problems, you should report them to the Eclipse development team.

The OW2 runtime contains the server types provided by the JOnAS WTP Adapter package. If you are using servers of this type and have problems you can report them at jonas-team@ow2.org.

It is expected the OW2 runtime to be merged into the Eclipse generic adapter's definitions, and the ObjectWeb runtime to disappear.
