[jbosstools-dev] Configure the Visual Page Editor palette in JBoss Tools

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Be warned that the palette and visual jsf editing is being phased 
out/deprecated since it relies on xulrunner which
are no longer portable/available in a stable form.

> categories HTML, JBoss, JSF, Oracle ADF and others, I would expect to 
> find an XML or Properties file that described those.
