[jbosstools-dev] WTP 2.0 JEE 5 support for adaptor-dummies

Hi,

I'm starting to realize that my efforts in trying to use WTP 2.x and JEE 
5 as an adaptor is going to take alot more effort than I expected ;)

I've tried googling for a while now and the only thing I can find about 
JEE 5 and supporting it in WTP at the code level is "it kind'a works" 
and no documentation on how I as an adaptor should use it.

The best thing I've found is:

http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/wtp-dev/msg05309.html

and a wtp newsletter 
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/WTPNewsletter_20070503) stating "Stay 
tuned for documentation on using the new IModelProvider instead of 
ArtifactEdits for JEE model access"

...but where is that ?

And http://wiki.eclipse.org/JEE_5_Support doesn't state much else.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_JEE5_Test_Scenarios just adds more confusion 
since everytime I try and do some of these I end up with a Project 
Explorer that does not give any extra support (e.g. deployment 
descriptor nodes are missing in project explorer even though there is a 
deployment descriptor etc.)

What does *basic JEE 5* support actually mean in context of WTP 2.x ?
