Jeff,

I suspect that Grid created this zip from his own environment, since I'm
not aware of any regularly produced zips in this area.

The requirement you mention about using SOA-P tooling only from JBT has
been the subject of debate before, with one serious limiting factor
being the JBT build. As Nick B moves the JBT to a modular system, then I
think these sorts of subsets become possible. Ultimately, it would be
Max's call.

In particular doing soa development work I have no interest in or use for seam, rich faces, jbossas tooling. So until there is a version of JBoss Tools targeted at the SOA developer, I would prefer to add the plugins I require. Grid mentioned a common zip, but the one he passed me was old. I don't see a tools common zip on the download page. How would I find this?
