Re: survey: what tool are you using for JSF ?

[ir. ing. Jan Dockx]

This is a highly relevant discussion for most people on this list!
I think a more permanent record should be in the wiki, so I started a page, with a dirty copy of the mails so far:
<http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/What_Tools_Do_You_Use_to_Develop_Web_Applications_Using_JSF>.

Please give your current and future colleague web developers 5 minutes of your time, and edit that page. It's easy!

I'm asking what kind of IDE/Tool are you using for developing your JSF
Web apps.
-----/Original Message-----

mostly: NitroX from M7:
- good JSF-editor
- good JSP-editor (Macromedia-style)
- good recognization for distributed applications (apps relying on other
apps...)

tried: MyEclipse v4:
- a bit disappointing support for JSF-components

trying: Exadel v3 pro:
- good JSF-editor
- good JSP-editor (Macromedia-style)

Btw. Jesse Exadel now has the 3.0.5 released
Features: MyFaces 1.1.0

and some bugfixes to the biggest showstoppers I
have encountered, basically according to the Exadel guys
the forced upfront WebContent dir lockin is gone
the hibernate mapping now works on more complicated m:n binding tables.
Have not tried the fixes out yet but it is worth a shot.
I will add a more extensive wiki entry soon, if the WebContent
lockin problem really is gone.

m7 always has been way out of my league pricewise, although their hibernate
stuff looks interesting.
What really amazed me today was the JSR220 mapping tool for EJB3, quite
an amazing little tool.

tried: Rational Developer:
- disappointing price to feature ratio

tried: Sun's IDE:
- I am not the NB-type...
