Auto completion of Icesoft Icefaces tags in eclipse Helios

iceSoft

ICEsoft Technologies, Inc., is a leading provider of standards-compliant, Ajax-based solutions for developing and deploying Java EE, rich Internet applications. ICEfaces is a leading open source Ajax framework for Java EE.

I search a lot in forums for resolving this small inconvenience in eclipse Helios. The solution is easier as you think:

Are you using some custom file extensions?

Name your facelets templates *.jspx if you are using any other extension, Eclipse JSP editor wont be used and you may have limited auto completion support.

if you still want to use *.xhtml, .iface

  1. Go to Windows – Preferences – General – Content Types –  Text - JSP – and add your extensions
  2. into 'File Associations' and made the 'JSP editor' the default for .xhtml

Auto completion for facelets, html and core components

Use Jboss Tools which has enables content assist for f: ui: s: h:

To install JBoss Tools, start up Eclipse 3.6 then:

Help > Install New Software... >
and add this URL: http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/

Locate your project in eclipse, right click, select configure and choose “Add JSF capabilities” as seen in the picture below

autocompletionEclipseIcefaces01

Now open any files with the HTML editor/JSP editor, in fact it will work now with any editors and for all tags

autocompletionEclipseIcefaces02

Another solution

You do not need to install Jboss Tools (I recommend it through) but what about Icefaces support?

Icefaces provide a plugin 3.5.0 that support auto completion of tags in Eclipse Galileo (3.5) for icefaces 1.8.2.  While Eclipse Helios is only supported with icefaces 2.0 (plugin > 3.6.2)

InstaSearch bring Apache Lucene search power to Eclipse

Among the 1246 plugins (!) available for Eclipse, I found this one that I really like to use since it has immediately boost my productivity in Eclipse.

InstaSearch is an Eclipse plug-in for doing fast text search in the workspace. The search is performed instantly as-you-type and resulting files are displayed in an Eclipse view. It is a lightweight plug-in based on Apache Lucene search engine. Each file then can be previewed using few most matching and relevant lines. A double-click on the match leads to the matching line in the file.

It's really instant and it searches through all the files in the workspace, by default it index the following file extensions (but you can add your own)

aj,ant,bat,bookmap,c,cfg,cmd,confluence,cpp,css,dbk,dita,ditamap,ditaval,dtd,ecore,ecore2ecore,
ecore2xml,emof,ent,exsd,fo,genmodel,h,hpp,htm,html,htpl,inc,ini,java,js,jsf,json,jsp,jspf,jspx,jsv,jtpl,log,
macrodef,mathml,mediawiki,meta,mf,mml,mod,ncx,nvdl,opf,php,php3,php4,php5,phps,phtml,pl,pom,prefs,
product,properties,py,rnc,rng,sch,sh,shtm,shtml,sql,sqlj,svg,tag,tagf,tagx,tagxf,target,textile,tld,tracwiki,tsd,twiki,
txt,vxml,wml,wsdd,wsdl,wsil,wsimsg,wssc,wssr,xhtml,xmi,xml,xpl,xproc,xq,xql,xqm,xquery,xqy,xsd,xsl,xslt,xtm,xu

eclipse_instasearch

As it use Apache Lucene internally you can build some nice queries:

  • Searching for icefaces could result in 35 hits (items contain the word icefaces )
  • Searching for web.xml results in 3 hits (items contain the word web.xml or file named web.xml )
  • Searching for icefaces web.xml (without quotes) results in 148 hits (items contain the words icefaces or web.xml or both)
  • Searching for icefaces and web.xml results in 3 hits (results contain both words icefaces and web.xml )
eclipse_instasearch_01
  • To exclude search terms just add a “-” in front of it:  icefaces –application
  • To perform a single character wildcard search use the "?" symbol.
  • To perform a multiple character wildcard search use the "*" symbol (looks for 0 or more characters).
  • Finding words that are within a specific distance away. To do a proximity search use the tilde, "~", symbol at the end of a Phrase. For example to search for "Specifies" and "milliseconds" within 5 words of each other in a document use the search: "Specifies" "milliseconds" ~5

eclipse_instasearch_02

Main Features

  • Instantly shows search results
  • Shows suggestions using auto-completion

BUG: Adding new guestbook entries now working in Backend (thanks to Laurie for reporting)
NEW: moved the Akobook image and titles to up in the navigation bar of the component (Laurie)
NEW:
moved your code for images to another tab called Security / Integration. I would like to add
another option here so that you can choose to use the captcha option in Community Builder (Captcha 2.0.1).
That way I can have the same captcha used everywhere. (Laurie)
NEW: Moved the number of entries to show on the admin page to the bottom to fit in with other components. (Laurie)
NEW: Changed image from publish to tick to fit in with other components. (Laurie)
NEW: Added some widths to the tables in backend so entry has more space so it can be more easily viewed (Laurie)
NEW: Moved the copyright notice to bottom of about page and removed it from other pages. (Laurie)
BUG: Ability for administrator to edit/delete/comment now working with BBcode support

A big Thanks to Laurie from Down Under (Australia) for his help.
