When editing JSPs, it is nice to habe autocompletion of tag names and attributes.
However, I am missing auto-completion for JSF expressions, like when I write
<h:outputText value="#{
…I would like to see a popup list of all managed beans, and after selecting a bean…
<h:outputText value="#{myBean.
…I want to choose one of its properties etc.
Contrary to JSP files in general, I think this is only possible with JSF expressions due to the declaration of managed beans in the faces-config. It should even be possible to validate these expressions before deployment – this would be a huge time-saver!
Actually, searching for references to a certain method/property could reveal these expressions, too. Of course, this leads me to refactoring support 😉 (something similar has already been requested here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-804.html).
Are you planning to implement some of the proposed features?
What do other users think about my suggestions?
Kind regards,
Daniel
