[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-12175) Automatic namespace completion in Facelets files

Automatic namespace completion in Facelets files ------------------------------------------------ Key: JBIDE-12175 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12175 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: JSF Affects Versions: 3.3.0.CR1 Reporter: Lukáš Fryč Assignee: Victor Rubezhny Fix For: 4.0.0.Beta1 RichFaces community is complaining about complexity of maintaining namespaces through the JSF projects [1] as the sample could be following project file: https://github.com/richfaces/sandbox/blob/760fca06c7db23b542fa8d077f73dfe... It is very hard to maintain namespaces through project. ---- What are current options when using JBoss Tools? * modify Facelets file templates for creating new files and list all favorite namespaces there * use autocompletion of detected namespaces (write {{xmlns:xyz="..."}} and autocompletion will offer you available namespaces) But both of the solutions are not as straight-forward as it could be. ---- Tools could help and store the preferences for namespaces, so user would need only to start typing tag with prefix of the namespace (e.g. {{<a4j:}} and once he will complete the tag {{<a4j:ajax>}}, the namespace will be automatically added to the root of the XML file. ({{xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"}}). ---- The information about the prefixes could be retrieved from: * faces-config.xml generated by RichFaces CDK: {{faces-config/faces-config-extension/cdk:prefix}} * scanning the Facelets (XHTML) files in a project and collecting used namespace prefixes ({{xmlns:*}}) [1] https://community.jboss.org/message/738739#738739
