Visual Editor for pages.xml and *.pages.xml files
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-2021
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE-2021
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Seam
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Ashish Kulkarni


Currently there is no way to visually edit the pages.xml and *.pages.xml files generated by Seam Gen. As a result, we cannot add params and/or navigation/conditional navigation between pages visually.

This needs to be done manually and is a painful and error-prone process.

Could we have a visual editor for this please?

This should have the following functionality:

1. Add params based upon the source page's input parameters. This can be auto-scanned and then the user can be asked to select the parameters from a list.
2. Editing the navigation here should work in similar way as the faces-config.xml editor. However, in addition, this should also allow for seam's conditional navigation.
