Eclipse: missing web service

Question

This is not a programming issue, but most programmers using Eclipse should have an answer that I wake up to.

I am running eclipse Indigo (v 3.7). But I do not find an option to create a web services client.

My googling so far has suggested that I do the following:

File → New Project-> Other. In the "Select Wizard" pop-up window, select "Web Services".

So, in my case, I don’t see any “web services” at all.

This version was launched on Windows, so I install Eclipse on my ubuntu and still don’t see the Web Services option there.

I think something is missing.

Could you help me figure this out. I started learning Eclipse just recently.

Thanks.

Answer 1

what kind of Eclipse you are using. I assume this should be as follows: http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/ or you will need to install the appropriate plugins for developing web projects related to the website.

Answer 2

First, never install Eclipse from the Linux package manager, such as apt; always download directly from www.eclipse.org Second, to get the web service features, you probably want to download the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers . This package includes Project Web Tools plugins that provide Eclipse with its web services features (among others).
