Pain point

J2EE/Java EE programming has already been among us for several years. There are some famous techniques established in this programming domain during this time - the J2EE/Java EE patterns. These patterns are especially useful for inexperienced developers and are guidelines for them to follow. The problem is that WTP has still no wizard and actions to provide for helping and hinting users to take benefit of using patterns.

Solution

Provide WTP with wizards and actions for using Java EE patterns like Java EE applications scenarios, EJB patterns, etc.

It would be nice if all patterns are build on top of common framework. Here are some recommended characteristics for such a solution:
    * Reusing of existing operations and actions for creating Java EE projects and artifacts.
    * Easy composition of atomic Java EE operations and actions.
    * Extensibility. Adopters should be able to contribute their own patterns to the framework.
