Eclipse OR NWDS

[former_member334499]

Mates,

I am basically a java developer having baby steps in the world of ABAP  and SAP.

I have some doubts.

1.I read like we can do Abap coding in eclipse .ALso i read NWDS  also can be used.

Which one be the best to use for same.I am familiar with eclipse.

Also does NWDS comes as part of the sofware package for SAP?or do i have to download it separate.

2.How can i create a webdynpro Project using the clipse i have configured. I dont find a Create New webdynpro project option in eclispe.

3.Such type of webdynpro appalicayion will it me a mix of java and abap codes or can entire webdynpro app be created in java.If so

how should i start and do it in eclipse configured for sap?

Regards

Mandan

Hi Mandan,

for ABAP development my strong recommendation is to use a pure Eclipse (Java Developer Edition) + the ABAP development tools installed via the updatesite: SAP Development Tools for Eclipse

There you have an IDE incl. the Web Dynpro ABAP tools.

NWDS is needed in case you want to do Java Web Dynpro development.

NWDS + ABAP tools is currently not supported as the NWDS is based on a very old eclipse version.

Thomas.
