The motivation behind this feature requirement is to prevent teams (such as iSeries WebFacing) from extending the Dynamic Web Project wizard code when they need certain default settings upon launching for this wizard. In the past, extending and copying WTP code has led us to breakage when changes happened to the respective WTP codes. This work has been discussed with Konstantin Komissarchik to be potentially implemented for WTP 2.0.


This feature requirement is for setting the defaults of Dynamic Web Project wizard using the new wizard extension point. Specifically we like Common Configuration to be set to our own configuration. Other parameters can also be set in this fashion such as facets, runtime, and EAR creation. The implementation should be based on "Extensibility thru IExecutableExtension mechanism to allow default settings". We assume tt should take a short time to implement. The defaults can be set in the fashion below. Please also see the java doc in org.eclipse.core.runtime.IExecutableExtension for a detail documentation of how this can be implemented.
