Why does my Eclipse Galileo not have Windows->Preferences->Server page? - eclipse

I downloaded Eclipse Galileo (3.5.1) SR1 and Eclipse SDK 3.5.1 and neither of them have a "Server" page on the Windows->Preferences screen.
Any ideas why?
Tx.

The Eclipse SDK 3.5.1 "classic" does not include WST (Web Tools)
Even the RCP edition only include it partially
WST: This subproject will provide support for integrating Web servers into Eclipse as first-class execution environments for Web applications.
This support will include the ability to configure Web servers and associate them with Web projects

Eclipse Kepler: switching to the Web perspective

How can I switch to the Web perspective in Eclipse Kepler, so that i can see the Servers tab in the console? Or is there any other way i can access servers tab in Eclipse Kepler?
Please note that the Web Perspective is not available in Eclipse Kepler. Please help me with this
The Web perspective is available in Kepler if you have the Eclipse Web Developer Tools installed. Some Eclipse downloads include this, others do not.
If you don't have this installed you can install it in your Eclipse by going to Help > Install New Software.... Work with the Eclipse Kepler software site and look in the Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development section.

Installed Eclipse GWT plugin, but no Web Application project

I have Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (3.7) installed on Windows XP and I installed Google plugin and GWT SDK , but even though plugin shows up as installed, I still do not get an option File > New > Web Application Project as it should be. And no icon with 'g' in blue circle on toolbar. What am I missing?
Thanks
Here is what I see on 'Plug-ins' tab in my Eclipse Installation Details screen:
Google App Engine Java SDK 1.7.6
Google Eclipse 3.7 Platform Plugin 3.2.2.v201303261859-r3l-r37
Google Eclipse Platform Plugin 3.2.2.v201303261859-r3l-r37
Google Eclipse Shared Platform Plugin 3.2.2.v201303261859-r3l-r37
Google Web Toolkit SDK 2.5.1
Go to Eclipse Market Place --> Search For GWT Plugin --> Download Google Plugin for Eclipse 3.7
It will take some time to download and install all the packages and plugins. But once it will be done, you will be able to see the google icon at the toolbar.
Also go through the following link.
https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/usingeclipse
I had the same problen when following the GWT Tutorial and I fix the issue.
You can go:
Eclipse --> Help -->Install New Software --> Work with
Then paste, any of these urls but change indigo or helios for your eclipse IDE distribution
Indigo Update Site - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/helios
Wait a moment and Eclipse will show you all options.
Check the option:
Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development
Then click the Next, Apply and Finish and restart your IDE to see the changes.
Is all.
You are probably missing Java 7 JDK.
Download and install the JDK from the above link, then follow these instructions to let Eclipse know where to find it.
After I installed Java 7, the GWT plugin buttons and menus finally appeared next time I started Eclipse.

CXF for Eclipse 3.5

I've Eclipse 3.5.2 and I've a web service, under Windows-> Preferences I can't see CXF, I know it's available in Eclipse 3.6 but is there any way to make it available in Eclipse 3.5? Perhaps by downloading the CXF jars or something? My goal is to generate WSDL file from my web service interface.
I'm using eclipse indigo. so I'm not sure if this'll work for you.
If you go to Help > Install New Software. Look for the The Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) software repository
I'm using Eclipse Indigo so its > http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/indigo
Now it'll list different "Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP)" Versions, Select the latest one and you should see CXF Web Services under it. I'll just install the entire platform. you can also install the platform sdk if you like. See the image below for more info.

source code for eclipse plugin dependencies

I am trying to learn about eclipse plugin development.I downloaded Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers in Helios distribution. I am able to create plugin development project using plugin development wizard. Now the problem is am not able to view the source code of eclipse plugin dependencies.I searched the internet for source attachments, but didn't find it.Any help is appreciated..
If you just want to play around with plug-in development, then you really don't need to integrate the different IDE capabilities, and can probably live with separate Eclipse installations and workspaces.
Actually, the more capabilities/Eclipse editions, you try to integrate, the more limits you set up for other plug-ins/features/capabilities. At some point, it can get impossible to integrate 3rd party capabilities such as those from TaskTop and Atlassian...
If you don't need the Java EE capabilities, consider using either the classic
Eclipse edition or the RCP edition.
For Eclipse plugin development download Eclipse Classic distribution which includes SDK from here.
Eclipse IDE for Java EE description:
Tools for Java developers creating Java EE and Web applications, including a Java IDE, tools for Java EE, JPA, JSF, Mylyn and others.
Eclipse Classic description:
The classic Eclipse download: the Eclipse Platform, Java Development Tools, and Plug-in Development Environment, including source and both user and programmer documentation.
Cheers,
Max
Also, if you want to see the sourcecode of any plugin dependency, you can check it out from CVS at :pserver:anonymous#dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse
Be careful to get the right version, though.
Cheers,
Rob

Difference between eclipse pulsar, mtj, me

what is difference between eclipse pulsar, eclipse mtj, and eclipse me ?
Eclipse ME is an external project started in 2003. As its page says:
EclipseME has graduated to become the new Eclipse Mobile Tools for Java (MTJ) project.
The MTJ project provides all of the functionality from EclipseME 1.7.9 plus many new features and lots of bug fixes. The EclipseME project will remain open indefinitely**, but there will be no new releases of EclipseME**.
Eclipse MTJ is part of the larger DSDP (Device Software Development Platform) set of projects, which addresses a broad range of needs in the device software development space using the Eclipse platform.
MTJ is a project which "will develop frameworks that can be extended by tool vendors and tools that can be used by third-party developers."
Eclipse Pulsar takes advantage of the MTJ framework and provides a "tools integration platform" (as opposed to "an Eclipse with a plugin for mobile development".
It is a package (an Eclipse distribution).
As Chris Aniszczyk says in his blog post:
The other new package is Pulsar which was built specifically for the Mobile Java community.
Pulsar is essentially a mashup of the Eclipse SDK and the Eclipse MTJ projects with the ability of downloading more tools from different handset manufacturers.
You can compare the Pulsar package with other Eclipse packages here.
So:
External Plugin (ME) => official Eclipse project (MTJ) => Full Eclipse distribution (package, with Pulsar)
