I know this is a minor thing, but since tapestry already has its entry…
The myfaces extended components dont have their own
snippets entry.

Another thing, I recently played with the exadel stuff, I really liked the ability of being able to drag and drop, locale strings, beans and navigations
from the faces-config editor and the resources editor into the forms, is there a similar functionality planned for myeclipse?

We just haven’t gotten a chance to develop them yet, we have that on our todo list.

Do you mean dragging from the pallete into the source editor?

sort of, the way exadel works, is that you have your own faces-config editor, which is like the specialized myeclipse outline. there you can open for instance a managed bean and see the attributes, drag it into the jsf source editor and it gets the correct
entry:
for instance managed beans->mymanagedbean->attr1 is dragged into the source editor and there it is added to a value property so that the correct entry appears value=”#{mymanagedbean.attr1}” that also works with strings in internationalization files.
That way you can keep the internationalization editor open just like an outline and whenever you have to enter a string, you just drag it into the code.
Just a hint for a future 4.1 release 🙂

There are numerous ME JSF enhancements planned going forward. I can’t comment on the exact scope for the 4.0 release but I can openly state that we are committed to building a world-class JSF feature-set and have resources dedicated to this effort. We have been heads down building a technology core that will support project-wide code-completion, validation, and code generation, and true WYSIWYG JSF/Struts. And yes, the DnD features will be integrated across views in the very near future.
