  • automatic detection of web services in project(detection of java classes annotated with @WebService annotation)
• support for web service consumption in Maven J2SE, Web and EJB applications
  • WS Client wizard
  • Maven JAX-WS plugin integration to enable JAX-WS stub classes generation
  • client code generator
