The following assumptions have been made: | |
<ul> | |
<li>Source editors will be SSE-based</li> | |
<li> | |
A component designer is not in scope - this project | |
will focus on JSF usage and not component creation | |
</li> | |
<li> | |
Needs to support JSF 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and be flexible | |
for future releases | |
</li> | |
<li> | |
EMF based models will be used for all JSF artifacts | |
</li> | |
<li>Released in WTP 1.5 timeframe</li> | |
<li>Supports all WTP platforms</li> | |
<li> | |
Users of this tool understand at least the basics of | |
JSF/Web design | |
</li> | |
<li>JSF is associated with JSP pages only</li> | |
<li> | |
Does not have to deal with Shale/Tiles. A developer | |
should be able to extend this project to create | |
these kinds of tools. Our goal is to provide a | |
platform that other projects can extend, e.g. a | |
Tiles project. | |

An application configuration resource file will participate | |
in typical Eclipse resource modification operations, such as | |
refactoring. Some examples are: | |
<ul> | |
<li> | |
Renaming a managed bean will cause any reference to | |
the renamed bean in an application configuration | |
resource file to be updated | |
</li> | |
<li> | |
Renaming a JSP page will cause any reference to the | |
renamed JSP page in an application configuration | |
resource file to be updated | |
</li> | |
