Hi,

How do I configure MyEclipse to get support for JSF 1.2 vs 1.1?
Please describe the steps and the jar files I need to download.

I expect this to enable me to successfully run JSF 1.2 examples and be able to use those tags in JSP editor.

Thank you
Ramin

Ramin,
There will be no designer support for it, but if you only want source code support, for example by using the Glassfish or Sun App Server 9 libraries, you can setup a new User Library called “JEE 5 Library Set” for example, and add all the libraries out of the Glassfish/lib directory.

Then in your project properties, remove the J2EE 1.4 Library Set from your build path, and add your new one to the build path. Let the project rebuild.

Now you should be able to use JSF 1.2 in the editor.

Hi Rayid,

thanks for th info. (I had forgotten about the user lib set feature).

When you say there is no designer support, does it mean that
1. there is no code assist for the new features,
2. the new features will give compile errors or
3. both?

Ramin,
Sorry for the confusion, I actually meant something else entirely. When you open HTML or JSP pages in MyEclipse, you get our special editor that has a Source view, Design view, Source/Design view and then 2 Preview modes. In the design view, we support Drag and Drop creation of JSF pages. What I meant by my comment is that using the JSF 1.2 libraries is not going to be supported in the Designer using Drag and Drop design mode.

But you *will* get validation (compiler errors), syntax highlighting and autocomplete just fine in the editor.
