Important Note: As it was suggest by Mr. Angel Vera: “The best place for the students to post question and get answers to it will be the eclipse newsgroup. There is a long list of newsgroups that they can benefit from depending on the question, as the students are going to be working with Webtools, they would probably want to stay within the - Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project" which are listed near the bottom of the page. This is an open community of adopter and developers working with the Webtools project.
