Oh yes!!! The Eclipse WTP toolset has been such a fantastic breath of fresh air to the development of enterprise web applications for the java platform. I downloaded and trialed the version 0.7 stable release last July 2005,and I must say it was simply brilliant. Having wondered, in the preceeding months, where to find a good, non-commercial IDE for doing java web development and having been managing with sysdeo's tomcat plug-in and other plugins that do some quasi html/xml tag coloring, discovering WTP 0.7 was a big blessing. I look forward to versions 1.0 and subsequently 1.5 with great enthusiasm.
