Server Tools
The server component contains the Server Tools framework and adapters
for selected servers. At the WST level, the server component is a very
generic infrastructure. (The J2EE specific server component is in JST).
The component lead is Tim deBoer.
WST Server Plugins
- Server Tools Framework

* Contains API
API Status
- API is basically ready to go. Based on past experience we're
reasonably comfortable with the current content
- Reasonable validation through several servers and API users in WTP
- BEA and IBM are both in the process of validating the API
internally
- Provisional APIs:
- TCP/IP Monitor
- Parts of server tools relating to features
