Bug 410843

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #398897 +++

Certain servers do not support all client runtimes which contain support for a generic project facet type, such as jst.web, for defining a client.

Example based on http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/jst/components/ws/documents/ContributingWebServiceRT.html:

<!-- define support for Axis Java clients in Web projects -->
<extension point="org.eclipse.jst.ws.consumption.ui.clientRuntimes">
    <clientRuntime id="org.eclipse.jst.ws.axis.consumption.web"
        clientImplementationTypeId="org.eclipse.jst.ws.client.type.java"
        runtimeId="org.eclipse.jst.ws.axis.creation.axisWebServiceRT"       class="org.eclipse.jst.ws.internal.axis.creation.ui.wsrt.AxisWebServiceRuntime">
        <required-facet-version facet="jst.web" version="2.3" allow-newer="true"/>
    </clientRuntime>
</extension> 

Looking at the example, any server can be selected which supports the jst.web facet. There should be a mechanism for removing an unsupported server which uses the same runtimeId. Using the runtime checker is too late in the process as the validation completes after the wizard dialog is closed.


Attached a proposed patch for adding an optional attribute for restricting the servers supported by the extension. This attribute is optional so as to not break existing adopters.
