I have asked before for the ability to turn off the designer view in JSF.

Until you support more seam stuff the feature is pointless and slows down editing a lot.

I always minimise the design window so whats the point!

As for validation; lack fo seam support is frustrating.

JBoss have done most of the tools you need and I think you are the only IDE not supporting Seam now.

Typical things not understood e.g.
basepath (a component from components.xml)

<h:graphicImage alt="Rifesyde Hermionie In Field" url="#{basePath}]/images/hermione_field.jpg" width="200" />

Built in components from seam like messsages and identity

<h:outputText value="#{messages.location_address}" />

<s:fragment rendered="#{identity.loggedIn and s:hasRole('ADMINISTRATOR')}">

from components.xml like basepath

    <!-- Utility bean called "basePath"that allows the pages to reference the basePath for resources
        Usage: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="#{basePath}/xmlhttp/css/xp/xp.css" />
    -->
    <factory name="basePath"
        value="#{facesContext.externalContext.request.scheme}://#{facesContext.externalContext.request.serverName}:#{facesContext.externalContext.request.serverPort}#{facesContext.externalContext.request.contextPath}/" />

“controllers” in you code like newsItemController

<h:commandButton styleClass="general_form_button" action="#{newsItemController.done}"
                    value="#{messages.general_button_done}" immediate="true" type="submit">

@SuppressWarnings("serial")
@Stateless
@Name("newsItemController")
public class NewsItemControllerImpl implements NewsItemController, Serializable {

I can see your point and I agree the designer tool for myeclipse is awkward to use and lacks many features found in other IDE’s that can streamline your work. Purely from the Visual, this JSF Tooling can be drastically improved and be more developer friendly. Take a look at thread https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/jsf-editor-is-lacking-basic-features-found-in-other-ide-s/

nmatrix9,
I have made a note of the feature you have pointed out. Thank you for your feedback.
