Hi:

I have removed the JavaServer Faces for MyEclipse – plug-in using the Configuration Center. Now I have trouble adding it back in. Where would I find this plug-in to add it?

Thanks
Leonid

Leonid,

Java server face is typically not a removable component and we normally hide it from the dashboard, so you should not have been able to remove it in the first place. Do you remember removing something named “JavaServer Faces Support for MyEclipse”?
In the top level MyEclipse menu, with a project selected, do you see the Project Capabilities > Add JSF Capabilities action? If you bring up the context menu on a jspx file, do you see the “MyEclipse Visual JSF Designer” option under the Open With menu?

A quick fix would be to remove “ICEFaces Support for MyEclipse” feature from the dashboard, apply the change and then restart, then add it again followed by restart. JavaServer faces will not appear in the dashboard, but the required plugins will be installed.

Can you tell me how you installed MyEclipse 8.5? Did you use the offline installer, web installer or Pulse Explorer to install it? Or perhaps you updated from MyEclipse 8.0?

I did remove “JavaServer Faces Support for MyEclipse”. It appeared in the “Personal Software” on the Software tab of the Configuration Center. I believe that I updated 8.0 to 8.5 using “update software” option using the Help Menu.

Leonid,

Thanks, if you perform the steps I mentioned above, you should get the JSF support back in full.

Is there a way to check?

Leonid,

Yes, after you complete the steps mentioned by Brian, you can open MyEclipse configuration center, choose software tab, this will list under – My Software > Personal Software.

I do see the ICEfaces, but I don’t see the “JavaServer Faces Support for MyEclipse” under the Personal Software.

Leonid,

In the top level MyEclipse menu, with a project selected, do you see the Project Capabilities > Add JSF Capabilities action? IIf you bring up the context menu on a jspx file, do you see the “MyEclipse Visual JSF Designer” option under the Open With menu?

If you go ahead and add the capabilities, you can check the context menu on the JSP / JSPX files to see if the MyEclipse Visual JSF Designer is presented as an option for “Open with”. If this is the case, you do have complete JSF support.

The Java Server Faces item will not appear under Personal Software or in the dashboard, even if you have the features available as described above. I’m sorry about this discrepancy, the Java Server Faces module was not supposed to appear as a module in the first place.
