Is setting up a server runtime necessary to generate a web service client with CXF in Eclipse?

Question

When I go to file -> new -> other -> web services -> web service client in Eclipse and select the "Web services runtime" I see "Apache CFX 2.x", but the finish button is disabled and I get the following in the dialog box:

"Choose from the list of runtimes and deployment servers, or use the default settings."

Do I really have to setup a server in order to generate a web service client with CXF in Eclipse?

Thanks in advance.

Yes it does seem so.

The CXF client runs in a "Dynamic Web Project" which needs a server runtime. See this link on the Eclipse forums
