JavaServer Faces

See also: JSF 2.2 plans for NB 7.3.1

Generally it should be completed crucial tasks of the planning document for Java EE 7 and JavaServer Faces 2.2 which were not implemented yet.

Non-editor features:

• nb8jsf.01: JSF Pages form Entity Classes get select box to choose templates (PF, JSF, created by users), creation of PrimeFaces templates for the CRUD scaffolding
• nb8jsf.02: JSF Pages form Entity Classes support for Many2Many and Many2One relations
• nb8jsf.03: JSF hints about deprecated javax.faces.bean package should be managable within the NB options + create fixing hints (to rewrite to CDI, JavaEE annotations) where possible
• nb8jsf.04: Easel + JSF: issues #234775 and #234776
• nb8jsf.05: Facelets Template Client wizard asks for generated parts of the Facelet issue #234204
• nb8jsf.06: JSF snippet generation action (Form/Table) get select box to choose templates styles (PF, JSF, created by users), creation of PrimeFaces templates

Editor features:

• nb8jsf.51: Navigation/hyperlink for custom components defined by @FacesComponent annotation
• nb8jsf.52: Navigation and code completion for the source of the ui:include element issue #234501
• nb8jsf.53: Improving of the code completion for jsf: namespace - tags has to be mapped to the JSF component and its CC entries should be offered issue #232344
• nb8jsf.54: JSF navigator entry issue #232170
• 205232 - Shortcut to import several namespace prefixes
• 187943 - Code completion for sections
• 225813 - JSF Editor unaware of cc:attribute type="blah,blah,blah"

Other good ideas:

• 226538 - PrimeFaces selectors (PFS) are not properly recognized.
• 226528 - Facelet-Taglib without namespace not recognized by editor
• 221693 - JSF component libraries friend API could be registrable using annotation
• 213713 - We do not support creation of the facelet-taglib file template?

Expression Language

• 234022 - In EL code completion aren't supported function calls
• Code completion for @Named methods - issue #200385
• Syntax coloring for basic members - to improve readability of lambdas and collection definitions etc.
• Code completion and semantic highlighting to be @Deprecated sensitive
• Code Completion items of assigned variables with better javadoc

JAX-RS

TBD

Persistence

 1.  update hints[1]
 2.  refactoring: extract mapped superclass [2] and embedded [3]
 3.  and wizard [4] 
 4.  hibernate 4.x (or 5.x)
 5.  jpql editor syntax coloring support, may be more enhancment in jpql editor
 6.  investigate/implement case sensitive db support
 7.  NoSQL? Any plans by Tonda's team?  Support EclipseLink's NoSQL extension?

CDI

1.  new cdi 1.1 hints
2.  cc in beans.xml
