The following figure shows the flow of developing J2EE applications with Eclipse.

Figure 4-1 Flow of developing J2EE applications with Eclipse

Each operation is described below.

1. Setting up Remote Management
   To operate WTP Connector, you must first set up Remote Management. For details, see 4.2 Setting up remote management functionality.
   
2. Creating server runtime
   Register the Cosminexus J2EE server runtime to be used in Eclipse. For details, see 4.3 Creating server runtime.
   
3. Creating Eclipse projects
   Create the projects for developing the J2EE application. For details, see 4.4 Creating Eclipse projects.
   
4. Importing a resource adapter
   When performing development with Eclipse, you can import a resource adapter provided by Developer to Enterprise Application Project. For details, see 4.5 Importing resource adapters.
   

When developing J2EE applications with Eclipse, you use the Java EE perspective. The proceeding sections describe the J2EE application development procedure when using the Java EE perspective. Note that the subsequent sections also describe the procedure for developing J2EE applications with Eclipse according to the above flow.

Note the following points when you using Eclipse:

• Do not directly operate the folders and files under the Eclipse workspace with Explorer. Eclipse or WTP connector might not operate correctly.
• If problems, such as inconsistency of the WTP connector or the J2EE server, occur, resolve the problems by using the server management commands or the management portal. For example, if you delete a server from the Server view when a J2EE application still exists, you must delete the J2EE application by using the server management commands or the management portal. The following figure shows an example of displaying the Server view.

• When using the WTP connector functionality, if the Important Windows Security Warning dialog box appears, immediately click the Un-block button or the Allow Access button.
