> 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/760fca06c7db23b542fa8d077f73dfe3e6dd81c5/bootstrap/demo/src/main/webapp/index.xhtml#L11
> 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:*}})
