Unfortunately the JSF el-code completion in Eclipse is currently very weird and 100% tied into having projects structured as WTP.....but it is doable, I know how to do it - just need the time (or someone who would like to do it ;) What other places or ways are code completion relevant ? (e.g. what are you thinking about when you say "depending on the context" ? anonymous wrote : | I think also, a browser of some sort that shows you all of the known Seam components, plus the built in ones would be good as well. Of course, drag and drop from the browser to code would be a nice feature as well. | "Browser of all known seam components" should basically "just" be to show a list of all beans with a @Name annotation correct? What should drag-and-drop actually do ? (and wouldn't code completion be better here or?) anonymous wrote : | I think the pinnacle in my mind right now is a JSF visual editor (possibly WTP's effort?) that is Seam aware. Basically couple the component browser with the JSF editor to allow a drag of a component property or method and drop on a property of a JSF component to "bind" it to that component. This sort of thing might even be something that we can release as JSF preview of a page, and then move to more editing in the future. | Yes, this is the scope of the JSF project in Eclipse (the drivers here are Oracle and Sybase) and in NetBeans the Studio Creator has such a thing. The last one is the most mature one and i'm looking into it in more detail this weekend just to see if it is as good as the flashdemos indicate. anonymous wrote : | I'd love to do this sort of thing, but I'm only one person, and I'm already on the hook for a SPNEGO JAAS authentication module for JBoss SX. :) That being said, I'd like to discuss this functionality further to try and break it down into chunks that might be small enough for me to do. | We always like extra hands ;) Do you have any experience with eclipse or netbeans development ?
