I think this was entered against Technology/BPEL by mistake.

Need some more information/help to see if JAX-WS Tools is at fault here.

That log file is full of org.eclipse.bpel.validator.* stack traces. Could not find one pointing to any of the org.eclipse.jst.ws.* packages.

What type of project exactly was throwing this error. I ask because the "JAX-WS Web Services" NCE node only appears under the Dynamic Web Project and EJB Project. You shouldn't see it under any of the projects created from the JAVA EE category.

Also what else have you got installed in Eclipse when this error is thrown?

I installed the latest Helios Java EE package from Eclipse.org and checked out all the bpel code from CVS (the validator plug-in weren't installed via the update site). 

No errors logged in a runtime-workspace when clicking on the "JAX-WS Web Services" node.

1,000 pardons! I should read ALL of the comments before I make judgements ;)

Yep, looks like a patch was submitted by Fitz, but it never made it into the JBoss Tools BPEL trunk.

I'll apply the patch here and over at JBoss.

Sorry for the confusion.

Applied the patch. Life is good :)
