<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Hi Brian,</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Nice post. Some good suggestions there.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Those other extension points are:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><em>org.eclipse.jst.ws.annotations.core.annotationProcessor</em></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>It's used as a means to contribute annotation processors which are used for validating (JAX-WS) annotations to the APT Annotation processor factory in <em>org.eclipse.jst.ws.annotations.core</em>.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>See the <em>org.eclipse.jst.ws.jaxws.core</em> plug-in for examples on how this extension point is consumed.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><em>org.eclipse.jst.ws.annotations.core.annotationInitializer</em></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Classes contributed to this extension point can serve two purposes. The first when the annotation is being created using the view or the new bottom-up web service wizard (using CXF). The initializer can provide member value pairs for the annotation.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>The second purpose is the ability to provide content assist proposals for an annotation when content assist is invoked from within the quotation marks of an annotations member string value.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>See the <em>org.eclipse.jst.ws.jaxws.ui</em>  plug-in for  examples there.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>@Max,</p><p>Yes we can look at pulling the annotation information from the project in the workspace. Please log an enhancement request and i'll have a look into it.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Thanks guys,</p><p>Shane</p></div>
