Very useful. It would be even better if support was added for H T T P authentication.

Awesome plugin. Wish it has some visual effects, but hey. I might just help develop this thing when I get better with Eclipse.

Excellent tool, indeed a 'Web Services, REST, SOAP MUST HAVE tool' as the author claims.
