Here's the problem:
I tried with multiple Eclipse IDE versions.
eclipse-jee-galileo-SR1-win32
eclipse-jee-galileo-SR2-win32
eclipse-jee-helios-SR2-win32
eclipse-jee-indigo-SR1-win32
Axis2 runtime is axis2-1.6.1
Axis2 Plugin from http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/tools/index.html
org.apache.axis2.eclipse.service.plugin_1.6.1.jar
org.apache.axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin_1.6.1.jar
Tried putting above jars into either dropins or plugin directories, but not able to see Axis2 Wizard under File -> New -> Other (for all of the above eclipse IDEs).
There was indeed an issue with the 1.6.1 versions of the plugins. You can use 1.6.0 or one of the snapshot builds.
