Axis Plugin for Eclipse

This plugin was developed to provide a quick way to import Axis Java SOAP stubs into a Eclipse project. I just needed it for the DeKlarit demo I did in WebServices DevCon East, so don't expect new improvements for this tool. I submitted it to axis-dev@xml.apache.org, so perhaps it's included in the Axis codebase sometime.

This was my first Eclipse plugin and it's just the default plugin created by the Eclipse plugin wizard with a few additions.

You can download it from here

Installation instructions

Inside the .zip file there is a readme.txt and a .jar file. Just unzip the aaguiar.axis.eclipse_1.0.0.jar in the <eclipse_home>pluginsdirectory.

The .jar file includes the Axis 1.0 distribution.

There is probably a better way to distribute this...

How to use it

The plugin is an 'Import plugin'. You can invoke selecting File | Import | AAguiar Axis WSDL import.

The options in the wizard page match the options in the WSDL2Java command line utility.

After running the plugin, the SOAP stubs generated by WSDL2Java will be added to the project. You should add the Axis .jars to the project classpath to be able to compile the application.

If you have any problems, let me know.
