Failed while installing Axis2 Web Services Core 1.1

I am using Eclipse

Build id: M20100909-0800

I try to add Axis2 facet to a Web Service project, I get:


Unable to add the follwing facets to project : Axis2 Web Services Core, Axis2 Web Services Extensions

In fact this turns out to be a BUG

To configure the Axis2 runtime:

in Windows/Preferences/Web Services/Axis2 Preferences set the runtime location

Windows/Preferences/Web Services/Server and Runtime/Apache Axis2


Dynamic Web Module should be set to 2.5 - they say.


Guys, this is ridiculous, in Eclipse 3.6 one cannot develop Axis2 Web Services. Simply OBSCENE.
