Re: project templates

Peter,

I am the developer currently responsible for integration of web module 
with projects.

The goal is to make this possible to customize everything declaratively 
in your project template, although it is not 100% done, tested and 
documented at this moment.

I plan to add documentation for this when it will be final. Now I will 
try to describe how to get started:

I expect that you will first want to define a project nature that 
depends on the web nature ("org-netbeans-modules-web-project") or on ejb 
nature. That way the web services project will have all the 
characteristics of web module project, including the java project nature.

All of this should be documented in projects apis documentation and/or 
netbeans developers guide but if you have questions, please ask.

(a curious question: do you plan to have 2 different natures, one for ws 
project that extends web module project and one for we project that 
extends ejb project?)

The template for your project will then list the web services nature:

     <folder name="ProjectDescriptor">
         <folder name="Natures">
             <file name="name of ws nature">
	  </file>
         </folder>
     </folder>

Then you put the customization for the various natures that are in the 
project into your template. Customization for Java nature depends on 
both 32408 and 32701. Customization for web nature depends on 32701 and 
documentation (I promise to work on it soon). You will also need to 
customize another nature: "org-netbeans-modules-j2ee-deployment". This 
is currently only possible using serialized data. I was working on these 
settings so I filed an task for myself (35107), but I am not sure if the 
format there is anywhere close to final state. Adding George to CC to 
comment on this.

so all these issues must be resolved for you:
