I have checked this question but it seems outdated now. Are there any plugins for Eclipse that supports Facelets/XHTML files and eases the development?

  • That was indeed to get your attention ;) and you link does solve it for me since I mean following you blog to get upto speed . If you answer it I will accept it . By the way to you use Glassfish at work as well. – Java Ka Baby Aug 23 '11 at 05:04
  • I posted it as an answer. I use Glassfish (and Tomcat) for hobby and quick development only. Glassfish is blazing fast in hotpublishing/hotdeployments. For the current project we're using JBoss AS in production. – BalusC Aug 23 '11 at 12:35

Both the Glassfish Eclipse Plugin and the JBoss Tools Plugin supports Facelets files and autocompletion of JSF tags. The JBoss Tools Plugin also adds EL autocompletion support to this.

The Glassfish Eclipse Plugin only works when your target runtime is set to Glassfish and the JBoss Tools Plugin only works when your target runtime is set to JBoss AS. JBoss AS is deep under the covers the same as Tomcat (which is just a simple Servlet container), but then enriched with a lot of additional Java EE aspects such as JSF, EJB, JAX-WS/RS, JMS, etc.

  • Yes I only used glassfish after going through your tutorial and it is outstanding wonder why not commonly used in production. – Java Ka Baby Aug 23 '11 at 20:15
