Web services with Lomboz
Lomboz plug-in

In this article, we will discuss the Lomboz plug-in and its usability in developing web services.

Lomboz is an open source and free JEE development environment used for businesses and individual purposes. With Lomboz , one can develop, test, profile and deploy Web Services, Java, JEE and EJB applications. It provides comprehensive support for most of the JEE standard application server runtimes, and supports other vendor runtime environments too.

Lomboz is built on the Eclipse open source platform and the Web Tools Platform (WTP) projects. It is a free Eclipse plug-in for JEE developers. Lomboz is integrated with many popular open source JEE tools such as:

Jasper, XDoclet, Axis and Ant and even more naturally with Eclipse and the Eclipse Java Development Toolkit (JDT). Lomboz implements an end-to-end JEE application development by providing support for the complete development cycle: Code, deploy, test and debug.
