Does JBoss Tools Visual Page Editor support JSF2 tag other than richfaces?

suiaing Mar 21, 2012 3:18 AM

I will have a project which is planning to use both richfaces and primefaces and i am finding a suitable IDE for the projects.

i am trying the JBoss Tools 3.3.0 and the Visual Page Editor works greate with Richfaces4 (the visual panel can show the UI tag correctly).

However, when i add the Primefaces component into the page the tag of the primefaces cannot visual on the visual panel correcly (only contains the box with the tag name)

Does JBoss Tools (Visual Page Editor) support primefaces ? and how ?

Thanks.

for custom visual tags each component provider needs to have a set of templates setup in a plugin for their library.

we provide the ones for core JSF/html/etc and Richfaces.

Contributions for adding Primefaces and others are very welcome.

If you want to implement support of a new tag library for Visual Page Editor (VPE), you need to create a new Eclipse plugin with VPE templates.

The best approach to create VPE templates is to make a copy of an existing template plugin (e.g. org.jboss.tools.vpe.docbook) and modify it with the help of the docs below.

While there are no completely actual docs, there are some old and still useful ones:
