Answer 1

Thanks to rbhawsar. You were spot on.

I needed to set the environment variables first. i.e: Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_35\bin JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_35

I have followed This Link as have been over 6 years since last touched JAVA. So now back to business :)

Answer 2

the reason for this error is the jar file which contains the class for wsgen task is not included in your classpath. If you are using jdk1.6 check your eclipse environment that you are using jdk1.6 not the jre. because in java 1.6 you can find wsgen task under JAVA_HOME/bin.

if you are using other version of java try searching for the relevant jar under your application server lib folder.

Please note: to check if you eclipse is using jdk or jre go to windows->preferences->java->Installed JREs and select the jdk instead of jre.
