WTP API overview

The main server tools framework client API.

ServerCore is the main entry-point and provides access to most of the remaining API. From here, you can get the existing server runtimes and servers, get the available server types, and access interfaces for all extension points.

ServerUtil provides utility and convenience methods for dealing with server tools. It provides easy access to modules, server runtimes, and what combinations are supported (e.g. which runtimes can be used to target a particular project).

IRuntime and IServer are the two main API objects. IRuntime is used to target projects to a particular server installation and compile/build against them. When a runtime is targetted to a particular runtime, all of the applicable IRuntimeTargetHandler extensions are called to set the classpath or modify other project settings for the runtime.

IServer is the main server class that clients can use to start/stop and publish to servers.

IModules provide the "content" that can be published to servers. See the server tools API overview for more information.
