I know MyEclipse for quite sometime. A really motivated team of developers trying hard to get the latest RAD tools to developers who cannot afford those expensive IDE.
Lately after seeing the plan for year 2005, I was a little schoked to see the Visual JSF designer was planned for mid -August this year. In the features polls from MyEclipse most myeclipse fans have demanded a Visual JSF editor. Also struts founder Craig M. have already suggested devlopers to start using JSF where appropriate. Exadel has already rolled out JSF Studio version 1.
My complaint is why MyEclipse is planning to roll out Visual JSF designer so late ?. I think this is the right time where all efforts should be put to JSF support instead of other features like Bugzilla integration and UML.We understand your concern and are working fast to correct it, I would encourage you to note that a *good* JSF editor can take upwards of a year to develop, look at the Java Studio team, it took them 2 years to develop it when the JSF spec started, we are going to roll out our first versions of the JSF designer in the release after our next release and for the next year or so keep improving it. The changes will come, and they will come fast, but for the time being we need you to be patient with us… we aren’t sitting home twiddling our thumbs 😉
Also W.R.T. to Bugzilla/UML/etc, these features are important to users, maybe not the 975 users that answered the poll, but keep in mind we are approaching 100k registered users on this site, we have corporate customers that will request features that we need to implement, so while it may not be reflected in a poll, when we implement a new feature it is a reflection of a large group of people demanding it; so *someone* wants it 😉
