In Eclipse under Window > Preferences > Web Services, all the tutorials I’ve seen show an option for Apache CXF 2.x. From there, they add the runtime, etc. and start working on web services. My issue is that the Apache CXF 2.x option does not show up under Web Services and I don’t know how to make it appear. Here is a similar SO question. However, in that question the version of Eclipse was different and the accepted answer was to get Java EE Developers package.
I have Eclipse for Java and Report Developers 1.4.1.20110909. The reporting package, according to the Compare Eclipse Packages page, should contain all the same features as the EE developers package (plus a couple more). Please correct me if I’m wrong. But, if I’m right, then why is the Apache CXF 2.x option not showing up under Web Services? How do I get that option in there? Thanks.
You likely need to install the CXF Web Services plugin to WTP. Go to the “Install New Software” thing in eclipse and search for CXF.
