hi,

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.

SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS) for more details follow : [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/15/0d4f21c17c8044af4868130e9fea07/frameset.htm]

Here's what I learned in the past few months!

NWDS - NetWeaver Developer Studio - editor, etc used by the developer to code. Developers way to interact with the infrastructure.

NWDI - NetWeaver Development Infrastructure - whole process of stuff. CM tool, Transport Tool, Build Support, etc. NWDS hooks into this in order to obtain code and put code in the CM tool, etc. As a developer I don't get in any of the tools that come in NWDI directly - I go though NDWS to get there.

NWDW - Net Weaver Developer Workplace - just installed this - contains not only NWDS but a portal, java engine, etc. Everything a developer needs to run locally on their PC....allows me to debug without impact to others, can restart java at will, etc.
