I have a WSDL file (or, more precisely, its URL). I need to convert it to Java classes. I also need to provide tests for the web service it describes. I'm new to web services, so could someone tell me how to convert WSDLs to Java?

I use Eclipse JEE Kepler. Maybe there are some plugins to do this automatically?

In Eclipse Kepler it is very easy to generate Web Service Client classes,You can achieve this by following steps .

RightClick on any Project->Create New Other ->Web Services->Web Service Client->Then paste the wsdl url(or location) in Service Definition->Next->Finish

You will see the generated classes are inside your src folder.

NOTE :Without eclipse also you can generate client classes from wsdl file by using wsimport command utility which ships with JDK.
