use RichFaces Beta for a single project within JBoss Tools

[germandev]

Hi!

I am using the newest JBoss Tools for Eclipse to develop JBoss Seam RIA using the included RichFaces version 3.3.0.

I now want to try a few new features of the new RichFaces beta. Is it possible to include the new richfaces version into JBoss Tools for only that single project? How do I do that?

Thank you in advance!

download richfaces and use those jars in your project instead of the current ones.

Hi,
If you use EAR project:
- update old /EarContent/richfaces-api.jar to new one
- update old richfaces-impl.jar, richfaces-ui.jar in /WebContent/WEB-INF/lib to new ones
Please don't rename these jar names otherwise you have to update /META-INF/MANIFEST.MF in ejb and war projects too.

If you use WAR project:
- update old /WebContent/richfaces-*.jar to new ones


Just copy new RichaFaces jars (richfaces-api-*.jar, richfaces-impl-*.jar, richfaces-ui-*.jar) to your web project (/WebContent/WEB-INF/lib) in case of war project.
If you use EAR then copy richfaces-api-*.jar to /EarContent

Please ignore last paragraph:

If you use EAR then copy richfaces-api-*.jar to /EarContent

thank you for your answers!

is it possible to enable syntax completion for the new components as well? (the completion that is triggered by CTRL + Space)

Code assist will work in JSP for new components. But not in XHTML. We are working on it to make this feature more flexible. In order to add new components to code assist for XHTML you have to add them to \eclipse\plugins\org.jboss.tools.common.kb-*\schemas\tld\Richfaces3_3.xml
I hope we will improove this feature in next version of JBoss Tools.
