"Re: JBoss tools JSF development - extending VPE (for MBean property)"

--------------------------------------------------------------
At present, dnd to VPE does not provide an extension point. We have implemented 
three cases of dnd: items from Palette, bean attributes from Web Projects, 
files from Package Explorer. When a file is dropped, a wizard is displayed with 
choice of relevant tag to be inserted (e.g. for xhtml it is ui:include and 
s:decorate; all available options are described in code). A similar wizard 
could be displayed when a bean attribute is dropped. Then, we have to provide 
an extension point to allow adding proposals for custom components and bind 
them to bean attribute type. Please add a feature request to JBoss Jira for 
JBossTools project. 
Alternatively (or in addition), should we provide an opportunity for a user to 
bind data types and components in preferences, so that on a bean attribute 
drop, the wizard would read suggestions from preferences rather than from added 
plugins? Not many users would bother to write plugins to extend a feature, it 
is easier to customize it in preferences.
String bean attribute can be bound to most attributes of most JSF components, 
should wizard try to show them all, or only some 'favorite' options?
