Description Karice McIntyre CLA 2006-10-20 15:50:24 EDT 
I am new to WTP (but not Eclipse-based products) and was looking for doc on something that I ended up finding the answer to in the newsgroup (see http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.webtools/msg12103.html).  I found the content in the web app dev user guide to be quite rudimentary.  Figuring out how to stop/start a server or create a jsp file or a web project is fairly intuitive, but configuring things like the server is not.  It would be nice to see the doc expanded to include explanations on things like what do all the options in the Server Configuration file mean and how/when do I use them.

Kate, do we have the resource to beef up the server documentation for WTP 2.0?
Comment 2 Kate Price CLA 2007-04-05 12:37:37 EDT 
Larina, this is something to keep in mind for the next release.
Comment 3 Kate Price CLA 2007-08-23 14:11:35 EDT 
Adding helpwanted keyword. We can help provide plugin structure and writing guidance, but we don't have resource or knowledge to write docs for all available server configs.
