Figure 1-3 Relationship of the Eclipse tools for developing J2EE applications
After installing Developer, you can use WTP to develop and deploy J2EE applications to a J2EE server in the debug environment and use WTP to start the J2EE server. You can also use WTP Connector and Management Server Remote Management to operate the J2EE applications developed with WTP.
WTP connector and Management Server Remote Management receive the requests from WTP, and pass the process to the Management Server in the debug environment. The Management Server deploys the J2EE application and starts the J2EE server through the Administration Agent.
