IBM has released the Emerging Technologies Toolkit (ETTK), a software development kit for designing, developing, and executing emerging autonomic and Web service technologies with a SOAP engine and an embedded application server.
Version 2.3 of the ETTK contains implementations and demonstrations of recently published specification including WS-Reliable Messaging, WS-Distributed Management, WS-Resource Framework, WS-Transactions, Generic Manageability Library (GeMaL), and WS-Agreement.
While it's great that IBM has released this toolkit, and it looks very impressive (especially considering that it's an emerging technology toolkit, as opposed to a formal product), what do you think of the stack it implements? Are web services too complicated to get right?

P.s.: once again IBM leverages the eclipse project and makes good use of it in order to simplify our lifes.
however it seems sometime strange to have dozens of installed eclipsed -

the real pain with that standards is that they might _non_ do what we need, but anyhone dealing with distributed entities will surely have felt some of these needs.
WS-* standards are surely better then a pletora of less-then-incopatible implementations and/or extensions, so they are welcome.
ETTK is thus extremely useful since in order for the standards to be adopted we _absolutely_ need freely downloadable toolkits, so people may try and decide.
The fact that IBM is makeing that available free only for evaluationa nd not for production is not a problem with respect to this point.
