Here's a step-by-step instruction on how to generate a web service client in eclipse. Note that you'll need the Java EE distribution of Eclipse, and possibly install a JAX-WS implementation (if you don't want to use the one included in the jdk) first (though I think you can have eclipse do that for you).

Most IDE's provide this functionality out of the box. If you're using Netbeans, simply install the webservice plugin and create a new-file using ctrl+n and select New > Other > Web Services > Web Service Client

You should always use a wizzard that generate source code (like the one in IntelliJ, haven't tried that in Netbeans), since eventually you need to tweak it.
You can use Apache Axis to generate a Web Service Client. Here is a link that can help you out.

What i will write the web service class? I'm newbie.

@jtahlborn: Nonsense. JAX-WS is an API standard. To actually use it, you need an implementation like Axis, which does NOT come with the JDK.

@Michael Borgwardt - you can write JAX-WS clients in JDK 6 - see the wsimport executable for generating classes from WSDLs. That said, I've had issues with the implementation's error handling.

@Michael - jaxws is certainly included in the jdk. we use both the client and the server from the standard jdk.
This is the perfect way to do it. http://wso2.org/library/tutorials/creating-web-service-client-3-steps-using-eclipse. Bear in mind you have to install Axis2 before anything
