JSF Visual Editor - Eclipse plugin

Hi!,
I worked with netBeans 5.5 + visual web pack and I liked the JSF visual editor, but I'm forced to use Eclipse in my company, so I need a JSF Visual Editor plugin for Eclipse, I tested a pair of them with bad results.
Can you help me?

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/jsf/dev_resource/JSFTutorial-RC3/JSFTools_tutorial.html
Even i included plugins downloaded in to my eclipse i failed to see the "JSF Libraries " in the window-->preferences as shown in the first screen shot in the above link.

JSF Visual Editor does not work with Tomahawk 1.1.3

hi,
i am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4 (SU4) with tomahawk 1.1.3 and myfaces-core 1.1.3.
All Tomahawk components that need the extensions filter to be rendered properly cannot be displayed
in the UI Designer anymore (e.g. Calendar). More painfully: all compontents in the container that comes after the component
that failed rendering will not be rendered too.
I have enabled JSP Visual Editor Preferendes 'Show Design Time Messages in Log' and got the following
exception:
Error exercising tag : h:panelGrid
java.lang.IllegalStateException: ExtensionsFilter not correctly configured. JSF mapping missing. JSF pages not covered. Please see: http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk/extensionsFilter.html
     at org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.util.AddResourceFactory.throwExtensionsFilterMissing(AddResourceFactory.java:371)
     at org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.util.AddResourceFactory.checkEnvironment(AddResourceFactory.java:333)
     at org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.util.AddResourceFactory.getInstance(AddResourceFactory.java:288)
But the ExtensionsFilter is configured correctly - all works fine when running the page.
A little help was to disable the ExtensionsFilter Check in web.xml
<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.CHECK_EXTENSIONS_FILTER</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>
So only the components that need the extensions filter will not be rendered - others will not be affected.
But this is not really satisfying (btw. all worked fine with myfaces 1.1.1)
Has anyone else got the same expirience?
thanks

hi,
to work with myfaces-1.1.1 and the newer versions in jdeveloper i have changed the tlib-versionS for myfaces-impl-1.1.3 and tomahawk-1.1.3 so that they differ from the 1.1.1 libs.
then i registered the JSP libraries tomahawk.tld from tomahawk-1.1.3.jar, myfaces_html.tld and myfaces_core.tld from myfaces-impl-1.1.3.jar
then i have created a user library containing myfaces-api-1.1.3.jar and myfaces-impl-1.1.3.jar
on a new created JSF i allways have to manually remove the jsf-impl.jar from WEB-INF/lib directory because it conflicts with myfaces.
i hope this helps

Netbeans JSF Visual Editor

I'm just wondering if anyone has seen this problem. I tried to add a Static Text field to an existing Layout Panel. I see the field properly in the jsp and I see it in the Navigator panel.
But, it does not appear when I try and write in the java view. I want to dynamically initialize it but using "this." or just using its id shows an error. The other elements under this panel work
fine, but it seems I cannot add anything new.
I've tried restarting netbeans, which also didn't help. Can anyone what conditions might
cause this strange behavior?

augustobacellar,
The Visual Editor in JDeveloper 11 functions in much the same way it did in 10g. We use a page flow method of layout, not absolute positioning. This adheres to the container style model of layout provided by the JSF and allows JDeveloper to support Visual rendering for an array of component sets. Both the absolute positioning Visual Editors relay on one specific proprietary component set and do not support this style of visual development for other components. Thus, to adhere to our mantra of choice we chose a more robust approach.
Regards,
Ric

Can I use grid layout in JSF visual page designer ?

Hello dears...
I am using Jdeveloper 11 g and 10 g .
When I tried to use JSF visual editor (from the component palette), and when I drag any control to the page I found that the control go to the top left of the page
and I even can not move the control to another place in the page by the mouse.
the JSF visual designer seems to use flow layout for the page . (the same as using flow layout in the swing applications).
The question is Can I change the page layout to be grid layout instead of flow layout ?????? (to be able to move any control to anywhere in the page.)
Note that in netbeans 6.1 , when u design JSF page , you have 2 options for the page layout, grid layout and flow layout and u can choose as u like.
Is this feature found in jdeveloper 11 ?????
if not , Can anybody tell me any workaround to design JSF pages without using flow layout ????
Thanks in advance
Samy

We don't provide absolute positioning for JSF application - this is a bad practice since it fills your JSF page with CSS code and create applications that are not portable between different screen/monitor resolutions - so we use flow layout instead and provide a much richer set of layout components.

Eclipse - Visual Editor

I use the eclipse 3.0 and I have installed the visual editor through Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install...
So I believe it�s installed correct, but I�d like to know what should I do to start it. I tried to change the perspective, there ins�t the visual editor option though.
Does anybody know how to do that?
Thx

VE is not started as a different perspective but rather, as of Eclipse 3.0.2 I have installed, it will open a new perspective as you add a new "visual class" to your project.
A problem I experienced during the initial installation is that Eclipse seems not to be able to build its configuration files all at once.
The online documentation suggests, if you cannot see "Visual Editor" amongst all of the other installed plugin, to delete the following:
/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/manifests
/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.bundledata
/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.state
and restart the program. This will force Eclipse to rebuild its configuration files.
(Just to be more careful you could move them instead!).
Hope this will help.
Bye

Error in Visual Editor for java with eclipse

hello eb
till i ysterday i used visual editor for java with eclipse normally without any problem but to day when i opened eclipse it display me this error :
Error trying to set new File into editor
Motif : java.lang.NullPointerException
and i think that the problem comes from the visual editor plugin because when i add a new frame or even for the old frame it dosent display for me the graphical component like every time
if si has the solution or can advise me thank you alot and i really dont know what to do .
it is for my stydy project and i have to finish xorking as fast as possible so if so can help me

well this forum here is the official java-forum by Sun.
you are asking for help on Eclipse, a software made by IBM since the cooperation between the two werent that bright all the time.(hence the name eclipse)
i just looked a few hours myself, and the latest version of the VE was suited for 3.0.2, the version fitting to the latest 3.1 build of eclipse, was still just a release candidate.
wait a few days/weeks for a final build and retry.

Osmosys SDK and Eclipse Visual Editor

Hello!
Does someone know if Osmosys SDK 2.0 can use the embedded Visual Editor in Eclipse?
Thanks in advance

I don't think it aims to be the best. It's not even close to working. You can do really simple things, and nothing more. And you can't first write the class by hand, and then switch over to the UI builder, and you aren't allowed to touch the code if you started in the UI builder. (This is how it was about a year ago).
The free
Eclipse should be very good at core features but also
be a platform for plug-ins. If it's too good at
everything it can't attract commersial initiatives.
If this has worked there should be a better GUI
builder for sale than the one you can get for free.
But I don't know if there is really.I haven't seen any good ones for sale, but I've seen that borland will build the next generation of JBuilder on the Eclipse platform, so I think that they will sell their UI builder as a plugin.

Eclipse Visual Editor-not working-palette no icons, no visual capabilities

Hello,
I installed eclipse recently with the intention of using it to lay out java components in my applications. I have installed GEF, EMF and the visual editor with the exception of the WEP parts, as eclipse said they had invalid licences. I have the problems mentioned in the title and eclipse does not bring up an option to install the WEP components of the visual editor any more. Does anyone know anything about how this could be fixed? Thanks in advance,
Paddy.

Eclipse and Visual Editor

Hi all,
I've looked for an eclipse forum, but this is the best I could find.
I'm trying to get the eclipse visual editor plugin to work. I see it in Help -> Software Update -> Manage Configuration as "Visual Editor 1.1.0.1". However, when I right click on a package or project, there's no "Visual Class" in the "New" menu. I can't figure out why. Any ideas?
Thanks.
-Andrew Roth

is the plugin properly installed ?
there are 2 ways to check that
1. Go to menu - Help\About Eclipse SDK. In the small dialog window that opens, one button will have "plugin". Upon clicking on it, you get a list of all the installed plugins.
2. Go to the menu- Window\Preferences. The left pane will give info of additional features like the plugins
Also, ensure that after installing the plugin, you start eclipse from command prompt using the following: Eclipse -clean
hope that helps

Visual editor JSF rendering not working

Hi,
I'm trialing the 10.1.0.3EA version of JDeveloper and I can't seem to get the JSF rendering working in the visual editor. I thought that perhaps I'd changed some settings or something so I completely uninstalled and then reinstalled JDeveloper. After the install I created a new application using the default web tech. scope, created default business components from the order and order_items tables in the oe schema, opened the JSF navigation, added a page and tried to drag and drop a read only table onto the page. Instead of the rendering I am getting a hierarchical view of tags with just the tag names, i'm not even getting any of the binding information shown, other than in the property inspector. I'v checked to make sure that the JSP tag libraries in the project settings all have "Execute tags in JSP Visual Editor" checked and in the preferences I have made sure that "Show JSP Tag Names Only" is unchecked. Does this functionality not work by default from the install or am I missing something?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Lee Proctor.

Of course, use the value attribute of the component and set it to EL representing the desired property.

JSF Rendering in the Visual Editor

JDeveloper frequently fails to render JSF components in the Visual Editor when running the Car Demo example (as documented on this site). The error reported is a null pointer exception inside the View Tag code, caused by an inability to create a faces context.... Does anyone have any ideas?

Jhon, what Frank mentioned can't be fixed from the outside. You or the developers who use phase listens without thinking about the design view are the ones to fix this. Frank provided you with the solution for this.
However, we don't know if you use any self written phase listener. If you don't do this you have another problem. I do see some of your symptoms but can't reproduce them at the moment. As long as we can't reproduce the problem somehow it's difficult to to get a solution.
My advise is to keep your eyes open (add I do) and whenever you can reproduce this behaviour come back and tell us about it. It's hard or impossible to give the 'best' settings for Jdev.conf as they depend on other factors e.g. operating system, memory, other applications running at the same time and many more.
Personally I don't change the parameters as long as I can't put the problems to low memory (which I can't at the moment).

Eclipse Visual Editor - no "Visual Class"

I have installed the recent eclipse and eclipse-ve packages. Eclipse says that the Visual Editor is installed. It says the "Visual Editor" is of version 1.4.0 and that the "Visual Editor Property Sheet" is of version 1.5.0.
As far as I understand, I should now be able to create a new "Visual Class" but this menu option is not appearing. Is there something I'm missing?

Same issue here.
