I agree with you! So, I have a plain ant project, too which let me do all things that are necessary for deployment (war, remote-deploy etc.). It's always a good idea to have a build-system that allows building and deploying without user-interaction for automated things.
But that isn't a problem with eclipse?! You can configure your WTP project without modifying your project structure. I've migrated my simple java project to a WTP project and it works like a charm. Now I have the best of two worlds :). regards, Veit Carlos Pita schrieb: > I'm currently using WTP just for editing xml and jsp (btw, I would > love that it supported EL autocompletion for the MVC model).
