Good day!
I am a J2EE Web Developer (portlets with JSF). I’m using eclipse wtp 1.5. I’ve downloaded MyEclipse, but I can’t find any capability in MyEclipse missed in wtp (except Visual Web Designer and some JSF support).
So, can you list differences beetween MyEclipse 5.0 and wtp1.5?
Thanks!
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English
Barvetal,
There is quite a bit of functionality in MyEclipse that is not in WTP, please have a look here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/ContentExpress-display-ceid-15.htmlI would point out that the severity of needing some of these features totally depends on what kind of developer you are and what tools you need. If you only do JSP editing and debugging then WTP is probably fine. If however you do a lot of database designer and hibernate work, MyEclipse offers advanced functionalities for these both as seen here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/ContentExpress-display-ceid-60.html
and here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/ContentExpress-display-ceid-61.html
again if you use AJAX or Spring, same thing, MyEclipse provides support for this. The list goes on, but it really depends on what you need.
If you are using XDoclet to generate JSF faces-config.xml or other files, WTP1.5 xdoclet doesn’t support this.
However, MyEclipse supports everything that is available xdoclet including, struts, jsf, hibernate, tapestry, etc.
As far as JSF, we have advantages over WTP in a number of ways:
– Graphical JSF Config Flow designer, so you can graphical edit your faces-config.xml file. WTP is source(xml) editing only.
– JSF config validation, we validation your faces-config.xml beyoud just XML validation, we make sure that bean classes exist and resources exist, etc
– JSF Wizards. Anything that you can create in a faces-config.xml file we have wizards for them, either for creating new elements or editing existing JSF elements.
– Outline for JSF config file. If you open a faces-config.xml file in our editor, then in the outline the has 2 extra modes specific for JSF. Also you can launch any of the JSF wizards from this outline.
