Hi Ravi,

NWDS: NetWeaver Developer Studio

It is an eclipse based Java IDE, which is used for developing different kinds of SAP NetWeaver applications. It is an IDE, installed the developer's desktop.

NWDI: NetWeaver Development Infrastructure

It is a framework to setup a landscape and version management features, when Team - Devleopment of SAP NetWeaver applications is to be carried out. It is a kind of server, which has several tools and applications for setting up landscape (SLD), version management and central repository of the code (CMS & DTR) and central build of the development done by many developers (CBS).

You can search the SDN and help.sap.com for detailed explation of both the terms.

NWDS

NWDS is a development environment. here u design and code a project that is created in NWDI (or) locally.

To create a simple application. we can just use NWDS. but the most powerful aspect of NWDI is that ANY project created by ANYONE on the same track is available for use and edit by everyone who can access the track. they could edit ur project or use urs, modify it and create a new one for their requirement.

And as pointed out above, you can also import a local project into NWDI, but it is sometimes shows up errors at build time. and i have never had luck in exporting a NWDI project to local.
