Summary
We began this chapter by providing an introduction to JST and describing its usefulness to both the enterprise application developer and tool extender. Next, we examined the scope of JST and discussed the criteria that determined which standards and technologies would be supported. The J2EE Core Model, or JCM, was next described, including details on its abstraction of core J2EE functionality and the APIs it exposes. This foundation, as we stated, is of great value to anyone, such as third-party vendors or open source developers interested in extending Eclipse to provide support for currently unsupported technologies.
Finally, we provided an introduction to the different useful tools that are included in JST and briefly discussed some of their uses and benefits. This discussion is expanded in later chapters of this text, providing detailed examples of using these tools in the context of implementing a project.
