    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

    PS: Keep improving a good product!

    Autocomplete for JSF expression isn’t supported just yet, but it’s on our radar big time.
