J2EE Deployer Extension

org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.DeployerExtension

This extension point is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

The extension point gives the ability to extend deployer operations on J2EE artifacts, for eg, EJB deployment and Webservices deployment. Registration of the deployer is based on module type and server target.
