exadel does an almost good job with facelets: They handle name-spaces quite good and can even evaluate and code-assist simple expression (that is, if you have your managed beans inside the faces-config.xml, which is not the case with seam) - and now that they have been eaten by jboss (together with richfaces), things may even get better (and the seam-problems may also vanish over time).
I don't see so many contenders in the field, but as exadel is painfully slow from time to time, I'm still looking for alternatives - does anyone know if netbeans has facelets-support?! cheers stf 2007/3/21, Werner Punz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Facelets does not do anything really problematic, it provides xmlns tags and it uses xhmtl, thats basically it. The only thing I can see is that if you use custom attributes in your compositions the normal xhtml editors fall flat on their face, thats pretty much the only facelet specific thing I can see. The main problem is the lousy support of xhtml/xmlns in most editors.
