Part IGetting Started

Our goal in Part I of this book is to get you started using the Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) project to develop Java Web applications. We begin with an overview of the structure of the book and then introduce you to the fictitious League Planet Web site, which serves as the inspiration for the programming examples used throughout. We follow this with some background information on WTP, including its genesis and architecture. Next, we give you a Quick Tour of WTP, which touches on most of its main tools. After taking the Quick Tour, you should be able to start using WTP in your development projects. We conclude this part with a more in-depth discussion of how to download and configure WTP.
