RE: IDE jsf

[Ian Hlavats]

Hey guys,   I use Dreamweaver for JSF page design with JSP and Facelets. I have been using Dreamweaver for many years and I find it to be a first-class Web design environment. My company developed JSFToolbox for Dreamweaver (http://www.jsftoolbox.com) to enable Java developers to build JSF applications with Dreamweaver.   JSFToolbox fully supports round-trip engineering with Java development environments, visual JSF tags, drag-and-drop toolbars, syntax auto-complete, design-time introspection of your managed beans, message bundles, UI components, action listeners, validators, converters, and much more. A free 15-day trial is available for download if you are interested.   Cheers, Ian   -- Ian Hlavats Tarantula Consulting www.tarantulaconsulting.com   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Galligan Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 12:22 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: IDE jsf   MyEclipse is not "almost the same" as the bea/nitro tool.  I own exadel and the bea tool.  The bea tool is by far my favorite.  I tried myeclipse and it wasn't even close.  I just tried it again.  Its like saying a car without an engine is "almost the same" as a car with an engine.  The bea tool has a grip on the application itself.  It has some intelligent auto-complete and can spot issues.  Myeclipse just gives you text boxes where you can type this info in, and has buttons that will auto-insert info.  Beyond that, though, its not really helping you.  I still don't understand why people like the tool quite as much as public forums and mailing lists would lead one to believe.  When using myeclipse I feel like I'm trying to fix a watch with a butter knife.  I know that's harsh, but it just feels clunky to me. The only major concern I have about the bea tool is its future plans.  I get the impression that it may be packaged into the broader tool for weblogic.  That would be bad. However, as a jsf editor, its quite good.  I've tried others and nothing seems to be up to the same level.  It doesn't insert too much or wreck your code with the visual editor, but it does a lot for you. It does not support faclets, which I've recently started using, but I came up with a big maven related hack to get that to work.  If anybody is interested, let me know.

It is a very intelligent plugin and helps you wtih a lot of errors.
