What is the installation procedure?

Also - what eclipse and/or wtp requirements?

[maxandersen]

See http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=111812

Eclipse 3.3 and WTP 2.x

The most straight forward installation procedure for nightly builds are:

Download Eclipse 3.3 and the other drivers listed on the nightly build site (upper right corner).

Download the plugin or bundle you want.

Unzip all these things into the same eclipse directory.

Start eclipse...

Its wonderful to see some good progress here. Are there plans to bring the RichFaces package to OSX as well?

[maxandersen]

the richfaces package works on OSX *except* for the visual part. We would like to get it working but bumped into issues with OSX and the underlying mozilla.

Until those are resolved we can't support OSX for the visual editing part ;( (feel free to come and help out if you are mac/mozilla hacker ;)

Congrats! I'm excited to see this great new best-of-bread product.

Is there a time-line for the first official release? I'm currently using Exadel Studio Pro for training courses, and I'll have to jump ship unless I have a solid build that doesn't expire at the end of August. Also, will the JSF tooling still support Exadel Studio Pro templates?

[maxandersen]

the expiration end-of-august should give you a hint ;)

Could you elaborate what you mean exactly when you say "Exadel Studio Pro Templates" ? There are quite a few of them and some of them (the features) we have to cleanup to align it with eclipse 3.3 and our plan to cut down redundant features...

I'm glad to hear about the time line :-).

Here's what I mean by templates. With Exadel Studio, I can save any project as a "template". Then, I can create a New project using that template. Basically, it just copies the project's resources from a .metadata folder, but it works well for courses -- there's as template for each lab.
