Installing this plugin

This plugin is in the EasyEclipse Server Java distribution.

If you install this plugin on another EasyEclipse distribution, the dependent plugin Eclipse Java Development Tools must be present in the EasyEclipse distribution, or must be installed separately.

Getting started

Help is available for this plugin, in the Help > Help Contents menu in EasyEclipse.

The help covers FacesIDE quite completely, including a very good tutorial under FacesIDE User Guide > A Sample JSF Application. However, there is no help for StrutsIDE. For help on Amateras HTML Editor, please see its own page.

Tests

(Notes that tests are only displayed if the page is served statically)

• Passing:

  - Create a new Java project.
          - Add a folder, that will be the web application. Note that you will need to define yourself, the deployment on a server (through an ant task, for example), unless you also install a plugin to manage servers, such as Eclipse Web Tools (J2EE) or Eclipse Tomcat Launcher.
          - Select New > Other... then Amateras > JSF > Add JSF Support or Amateras > JSF > Add Struts Support. Select the web application folder you just created.
          - The web application folder is populated with all the libraries needed for development, as well as the configuration files (web.xml, and faces-config.xml).
          - Right-click on faces-config.xml and select Open With > faces-config.xml Editor to edit this file with the flow editor
          - should improve this test case based on the tutorial (see getting started)
