What are the generators of $\mathbb C[V^m]^W$, where $W$ is the Weyl group of type $E_6, E_7, E_8$, V^m denote 'm' (m > 1) copies of the Cartan subalgebra and the action is the diagonal action?

Is there any reference where I can find the generators explicitly?

 Are there any restrictions on generators that you want? Why exceptional types? This is a very hard problem even for $A_n$ (symmetric group), at least, if you want a minimal system of generators. – Victor Protsak May 13 2010 at 20:53
Looks like another shooter in the dark... – Victor Protsak May 14 2010 at 4:08
When m=1, if the Weyl group is from a classical Lie algebra then this is a known result, and it is not hard to imagine that somewhere the case of m copies has been worked out. I suspect this is why the asker is more interested in exceptional type. – Q.Q.J. May 15 2010 at 4:44
No, any system of generator will work for me, not necessarily a minimal system. For type $A_n, B_n, C_n, D_n$ and $G_2$ I know a set of generators but I do not have any clue for other exceptional types. Actually I am much more interested in the degrees of the generators. – unknown (google) May 15 2010 at 11:48

I don't think the answer is known. The paper [Hunziker, Classical invariant theory for finite reflection groups. Transform. Groups 2 (1997), no. 2, 147–163] is relevant. The author conjectures an answer and shows his answer is correct for $F_4$.
