Hi Konstantin,
I would like to schedule a conference call with you to review the use
of facets in the JSF Tools Project and also the Dali project. Please
let me know if you can participate in our status call on Monday at
11.00 AM PDT.
Background:
The WTP PMC reviewed the two projects last week and one of the issue
that was raised was the use of facets by the two project. I will
summarize the issue for the JSF Tools Project. Neil Hauge will do the
same for the Dali project. Gerry Kessler (cc'ed ) is the committer on
the project working on this feature.The issue for the JSF Tools project
is tracked in the following bugzilla: 145677
The JSF Tools project has added the 'JSF Facet ' to WTP. You need to
add this facet to a Dynamic Web project to use the JSF Tools
capabilities. When you add a JSF Facet to a project, you are prompted
to add 'JSF Libraries' to the project. A JSF Library is a named
collection of jars similar to the JDT User library. These jars are
added to the build path and optionally deployed to the Server. A
Dynamic Web Project that has the JSF Facet, has a property page called
the JSF Librrary reference. This allows you to modify the JSF Libraries
on the project.
Issue:
The use of the property page to modify the libraries on the project is
not correct. These should be done through the Facet add/remove
mechanism. It was suggested that there should be a modify option form
the Project Facet property page that should be used to achieve the
above functionality.
More info:
You can get the JSF Tools project from the WTP continuous build page:

Tutorial that explains the functionality:

The above build also has Help that explains the JSF Facet.
Thanks
Raghu
