WADL seams to be the better (light-weight) way to annotate REST Services.

My question: Do you know a visual Tool (Online, Eclipse Plugin or other) to create and manage the WADL Specification?

Thanks.

I find SOAPUI excellent for editing WADL definitions and creating API contracts (and can do the same for WSDL).

While it is not visual in the same way xmlspy is; its structured approach is much better for establish a WebService 'contract'. It can then optionally be used to create Test Cases and Service Mocks.
