Hi Anushree,

Netweaver Developer Workplace is the combination of a local WAS Java plus an NWDS. The NWDS is the Java IDE solely, based on Eclipse.

See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/de/b3/304f4506e4684782f5d9c39451c3e9/frameset.htm

NWDI is Netweaver Development Infrastructure.

NWDI provides an infrastructure to develop Java applications on netweaver platform and is responsible for versioning,building and lifecycle management of these applications developed.

It has mainly three components :

DTR(Design time repository) : for versioning of any file altered.

CBS(Component build service) : for building application in central build environment.

CMS(change management service):to transport and setup logical landscape.

NWDS is netweaver Development Studio.

NWDS is just a development environment with all robust development tools.

It can run j2ee,j2se and sap applications also.

It is an interface to access NWDI services and applications.

Hi,

The Netweaver Development Infrastructure refers to the entire architecture developed by SAP for building java applications.
