 <!--new item-->
 <h3>Web Page Editor</h3>
 <ul class="indent">
 	An enhanced Web Page Editor is now available. Building on the existing
 	JSP editing support, it provides simultaneous synchronized visual and
 	source editing of a Faces JSP in a split pane arrangment, a
 	flyout/detachable palette, enhanced property sheets, a Preview page,
 	and more.

 <h3>Improved HTML DataTable tag variable support</h3>
 <ul class="indent">
 	EL variables declared using the
 	<em>var</em>
 	attribute on the
 	<strong>h:dataTable</strong>
 	tag are now recognized by the JSF EL framework. The amount of
 	additional support varies depending on the "value" attribute used to
 	back the variable, the most complete being offered for scalar or array
 	objects with generic Lists.
 	<br />
 	<br />
 	<img src="../images/whats_new/1_0/DataTableVariableSupport.png" alt="content assist popup" />

 <h3>JSF Libraries are now regular Classpath Containers</h3>
 <ul class="indent">
 	JSF Libraries make use of the
 	<i>easier publishing of dependencies</i>
 	feature introduced in this release. References to JSF Libraries in a
 	project are made using the standard Java Build Path property page and
 	set to be published/exported using the J2EE Module Dependencies
 	property page, and will appear as JDT Libraries in the Project and
 	Package Explorer views.
 	<i> An upgrade of the JSF Library Registry will automatically occur
 	when an older workspace is opened. The actual references, however, will
 	require a manual upgrade. </i>
 	Information on this can be found at
 	<a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/JSF_Library_Migration">
 	http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/JSF_Library_Migration </a>
 	. JSF Library references are still being created at JSF Facet
 	installation time, but if you need to add, modify, or remove references
 	after project creation, you will now be using the standard Java Build
 	Path and J2EE Module Dependencies property pages.

	<h4>Decorative Variable and Property Resolvers</h4>
	<p>To better support the decorative nature of JSF variable and property resolvers, we have added the ability
	to register decorative design time resolvers to the default application manager. Decorative resolvers
	are called only if the runtime resolver that they are associated with is found in the configuration
	of the current web project. For more information see: <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=206514#c22">here</a></p></div>

	<p>We have refactored several internal symbol creation methods and combined them with contributions

	to simplify creation of common JSF symbols. See <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=211321#c11">here</a>
	for more details.</p>

	<p>This section contains descriptions of the following significant

	<h3>Support for JSF 1.2</h3>
	<ul class="indent">
	JSF Tools supports JavaServer Faces 1.1 and 1.2 versions.
	<br />

	<br />

	<h3>Web Page Editor</h3>
	<ul class="indent">
	An enhanced Web Page Editor is now available. Building on the existing
	JSP editing support, it provides simultaneous synchronized visual and
	source editing of a Faces JSP in a split pane arrangment, a
	flyout/detachable palette, enhanced property sheets, a Preview page,
	and more.
	<br />
	<br />
	<img src="../images/whats_new/1_0/jsf-web-page-editor.png"
	alt="Web Page Editor sample screenshot" />
	<br />
	<br />
	The layout of the panes, as well as whether to show both, is
	configurable.
	<br />
	<br />
	<img src="../images/whats_new/1_0/jsf-layout.png" alt="Web Page Editor sample screenshot" />
	<br />

	<a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Visual_JSF_Page_Designer">
	wiki page </a>
	.
	</ul>
	<br />

	<!--new item-->
	<h3>Faces Config Editor</h3>
	<ul class="indent">
	The Faces Configuration Editor is a comprehensive multi-page editor to
	edit the Faces configuration resource file. It includes a graphical
	editor to visually define the navigational rules.

	<h3>Improved HTML DataTable tag variable support</h3>
	<ul class="indent">
	EL variables declared using the
	<em>var</em>
	attribute on the
	<strong>h:dataTable</strong>
	tag are now recognized by the JSF EL framework. The amount of
	additional support varies depending on the "value" attribute used to
	back the variable, the most complete being offered for scalar or array
	objects with generic Lists.
	<br />
	<br />

	</ul>
	<br />

	<!--new item-->
	<h3>JSF Libraries are now regular Classpath Containers</h3>
	<ul class="indent">
	JSF Libraries make use of the
	<i>easier publishing of dependencies</i>
	feature introduced in this release. References to JSF Libraries in a
	project are made using the standard Java Build Path property page and
	set to be published/exported using the J2EE Module Dependencies
	property page, and will appear as JDT Libraries in the Project and
	Package Explorer views.
	<i> An upgrade of the JSF Library Registry will automatically occur
	when an older workspace is opened. The actual references, however, will
	require a manual upgrade. </i>
	Information on this can be found at
	<a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/JSF_Library_Migration">
	http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/JSF_Library_Migration </a>
	. JSF Library references are still being created at JSF Facet
	installation time, but if you need to add, modify, or remove references
	after project creation, you will now be using the standard Java Build
	Path and J2EE Module Dependencies property pages.
