[wtp-pmc] Comment on section 1.7.2.4 PHP Tools Project of the Web Tools

[Robert Goodman <goodmanr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The PHP tools project has dropped or
is planning to dropped support for the Apache Server built on top of the
WTP server infrastructure. The PHP team is building there own Apache server
support which isn't based on the WTP server infrastructure. ATF has picked
up the Apache Server based on the WTP infrastructure and integrated it
into ATF. In the process the ATF team changed the GUIs back to match the
WTP server GUIs for creating a Server. The PHP team didn't think that the
WTP GUIs were very intuitive. Since these GUIs are baked into the WTP infrastructure,
changing the GUIs caused a number of problems. Eventually the PHP team
decided to move off the WTP server infrastructure. 

    Thanks
