    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-6253?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12529017#action_12529017 ] 

Lukas Jungmann commented on JBIDE-6253:
---------------------------------------

nice work

from screenshots, it's not clear if:
-user can easily edit added request header(s)
-user can paste (ctrl+v) some text into the request body text area
-user can beautify xml/text in request body text area
-response xml is beautified by default (w/ enabled/disabled line wraping)
-user can copy (ctrl+c) response from the text area to a clipboard
-Service URL text field remembers last n (10?) invoked services in current IDE session

must have's (IMO):
-response header's tab
-PUT & DELETE support for JAX-RS
-BASIC auth support, ie. for testing services requiring authentication

nice to have:
-being able to load/save request/response body to/from external file
-a browse button next to the Service URL text field which would open up a dialog with a list of JAX-WS/JAX-RS services available in current workspace

...you mentioned "Set Sample Data" button won't be in the final version - does the same apply to "content is xml" checkbox? I'd say it should go away as well since this is something what should be set by the user through Content-Type HTTP header

> Though there are testing facilities for web services available in Eclipse, such as the Web Services Explorer (doesn't support JAX-RS) and soapUI (3rd party tool), there has been a call for some rudimentary testing facilities within our tooling as well. 
> This tooling should:
> * Test invoking a JAX-WS service with an incoming SOAP document and show the results
> * Test invoking a JAX-RS service (GET or POST) and show the results
