My first shot would be a "dump" 1:1 copy of the original Tomcat WTP adapter and have it re-branded to call out TomEE instead of Tomcat where applicable. We could then discuss what kind of additional option should be present on the adapters editor page. We should as well discuss later on how to re-distribute such an adapter cause I suppose the Tomcat adapter is licensed under the EPL. An additional value add might be adding TomEE specific help pages geared towards Eclipse so people have the most essential information available within their Eclipse workbench.
