The Eclipse team with The Open University have prepared the following document, which includes creating proxy classes with tests. It might be what you are looking for.

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/community/education/web/t320/Generating_a_client_from_WSDL.pdf

Everything is included in the Dynamic Web Project template.

In the project create a Web Service Client. This starts a wizard that has you point out a wsdl url and creates the client with tests for you.

The user guide (targeted at indigo though) for this task is found at http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jst.ws.cxf.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Fcreate_client.html.
