Hi;
Does ME supply a visual designer for JSF? Which libraries does it support and does it allow the setting of properties from the gui?
And…Does it work on Linux?Thanks;
-natNat,
We *will* have a visual JSF editor in 4.0M3, in a couple of weeks. However, it will be Windows-only at this point.
Hi Scott,
I don’t mean to be rude but does “Windows only at this point” mean that Linux (and Mac) users will not see this feature any time soon (similar to the JSP visual designer)? I understand that Windows might, for some reason, offer you big shortcuts in implementing this feature, but visual JSF design could be the thing that takes Java Web development to the same level ease and RAD as hyped technologies like Rails.
If Visual Design for JSF is going to be relegated to the back burner for “niche” O/Ses would you consider a wizard that could take a JavaBean and generate a form page using an editable template, perhaps with a way to autopopulate certain validation and input field attributes based on property types (boolean is a checkbox, int is a short input field and numeric only, String would be a longer input field, etc).

Actually, to be clear, we’ll have a JSF flow designer, for laying out the flow of your applications, available on all platforms. We’ll also have a JSF WYSIWYG page designer, built on our visual JSP designer, available in 4.0M3 on the Windows platform only.
would you consider a wizard…
That’s a nice suggestion for all platforms. Could you post that as a separate item to the Feature Requests forum so other users can chime in, add their own suggestions, and continue the train of thought?

is the visual page designer fully functional already in 4.0M3 ? Because in your roadmap you mention for V 5.0, in December:
“Visual JSF Designer for full WYSIWYG development”
was this feature moved completely to 4.0 ?
This would be great as we are desparately looking for a Rational RAD 6.0 replacement. But we found no visual JSF designer plugin so far for Eclipse.

Basically, we accelerated development of it based on user feedback so it will be in 4.0M3, instead of 5.0.

With 4.0M3, we’ll be “feature complete” and will just be doing bug fixes and minor tweaking getting ready for the final release of 4.0 at the end of August. So, with M3 you should be able to do a good heads-up comparison to what you’re using now. And, it will include a visual JSF designer among many other things. Please be sure to follow up and let us know what you think once you’ve given it a spin. But, please be sure to do that in a new thread; we often don’t read threads marked “closed”. 🙂
