Start with a REST Project
Test Your Services
Start with Built-in Libraries
Choose the REST (JAX-RS) and Java EE versions that best fit the needs of your project to incorporate associated libraries automatically. Wizards make library management a snap; libraries are included with MyEclipse with no additional downloads required. If you’re a Maven shop, we’ve got you covered – we’ll set up the necessary dependencies in your pom.xml.

Wizards Simplify Development
From a new project, to web service resource methods to REST facades, MyEclipse is wizard-driven, making REST web service development project creation and configuration a cinch. For example, the REST Facade Generation wizard creates facades by exposing reverse-engineered database entities.
