That’s great DaveO. Can’t wait.
I’m still working on it… I’m organizing screen captures, etc… Sorry for the delay.. it’s taking a suprisingly long amount of time to get this blog entry together given that it’s for a pretty quick topic… :-/
Tutorials are a lot harder than you think on the outset… I know I always underestimate the time they will take.
I think I finally have this done…
+7 for my firm. And no, that tutorial didn’t address the main issue everyone’s requesting, which is to make the visual editor in the MyEclipse, aware of the fact that xhtml files might be associated with facelets and to offer code completion suggestions for things that look like el expressions. And parse tags to be shown visually too.
At least, can’t you guys just make the visual editor parse and display xhtml the same as plain html? Then at least those who are using facelets as a generic html templating technology, i.e., not using custom jsp-looking tags but rather, standard html tags dressed with facelets attributes instead, would still display nicely. That CAN’T be that hard to do can it?
+4 on my end!
Our entire department is considering switching to Exadel for this very reason… We need auto-complete for Facelets.

This tutorial shows how to get auto-completion for Facelets by fooling WTP to think of them as JSPs:

Karsten and others,
Rick did a great job on that tutorial. For anyone wanting to get started with MyEclipse and Facelets (before it’s officially in) I put together a started project you can grab Here (1.6MB) that includes all the steps and latest stable releases outlined in Rick’s tutorial with full credits in the README. Autocomplete works fine in the source editor, the designer doesn’t work at the moment and there are warnings that I believe are invalid, but I need to look into them.Hope that helps.
Has anyone tried out Dave’s tutorial or the example project I posted? Any comments? Suggestions? Complaints? It seemed to work decently for me.
