This document outlines the work that is underway to extend the Eclipse Web Tools Platform so that it can offer support for JBI components.  In order to understand a little about the process we'll walk through the steps involved in added a new module type,  creating a server definition and then ultimately adding the a new project type and deployables.

Its a work in progress,  but hopefully by seeing the process of adding the extension we help feed innovation around WTP and JBI.

OK.. Lets start at the begining, we will basically create three plug-in projects,  these will be for the server definition,  the UI components of JBI and the JBI core components (which will cover creating deployables).

We will start in the UI project,  and do our first big step,  we will declare a new type of module.  In our case this will be a jst.jbi.component (though obviously we could create a new module type for other things ie a BPEL module).

<extension point="org.eclipse.wst.server.core.moduleTypes">
    <moduleType id="jst.jbi.component" name="%jbi.component.module.type.name" />       
</extension>

A fine first move, and certainly one that we can be proud of. Now we have our new module type we will want to build up all that wonderful functionality around it.
