[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-9397) Split RichFaces feature into separate Common, JSF, VPE, ... features

Split RichFaces feature into separate Common, JSF, VPE, ... features -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-9397 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9397 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: JSF Affects Versions: 3.3.0.M2 Reporter: Alexey Kazakov Assignee: Nick Boldt Labels: new_and_noteworthy Fix For: 3.3.0.M4 Attachments: patch_JBIDE9397.txt Right now, if you need JSF tools you have to install RichFaces feature that bundles a set of components: JST, JSF, VPE, ... It can confuse users. Here is the story that illustrates the possible problem: Jose Freitas (Seam 3 team) complained that code completion is not working for seam faces tags. It turned out that he installed CDI, Maven, AS, Hibernate tools but didn't install RichFaces feature. He just didn't realize that the RichFaces feature is much more than just RichFaces support. He didn't install it and as a result he didn't get JSF Tools. So JSF code completion didn't work for his project. It would be good to have a separate JSF Tools feature that requires only reasonable dependencies (such as Common, JST) and doesn't require VPE.
