Some suggestions for improving the Web Services Explorer:

In the Navigator (left) pane, make the [Delete] key delete the currently selected item.

Generally, work as well as <a href=”http://www.soapui.org/”>SoapUI</a&gt;.

Create multiple endpoints from WSDL. For example, this WSDL should produce 5 endpoints (one for each wsdl:port):

Retain WSDL, so it’s readily available for re-use. (The current explorer forgets WSDL when I close the Explorer and restart Eclipse.)

Pool your resources with the SoapUI eclipse-plugin project, to combine the best features of SoapUI and MyEclipse. Don’t beat them; join them.
