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
Editor features:
- nb8jsf.51: Navigation/hyperlink for custom components defined by @FacesComponent annotation
- nb8jsf.52: Navigation into components defined by @FacesComponent annotation
- nb8jsf.53: Navigation into the source of the ui:include element issue #234501
- nb8jsf.54: 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.55: JSF navigator entry issue #232170
Other good ideas:
- 205232 - Shortcut to import several namespace prefixes
- 226538 - PrimeFaces selectors (PFS) are not properly recognized.
- 226528 - Facelet-Taglib without namespace not recognized by editor
- 225813 - JSF Editor unaware of cc:attribute type="blah,blah,blah"
- 221693 - JSF component libraries friend API could be registrable using annotation
- 213713 - We do not support creation of the facelet-taglib file template?
- 187943 - Code completion for sections
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
