Re: [ee4j-community] Eclipse is still behind the current state of Java EE 8

It would make great sense. Since the free choice between different implementations of JEE standards (let's just call it so as it can be both names ;-) was the reason to make them available via Eclipse Foundation, it seems natural to offer at least some level of proper tooling for JEE/EE4J in an open and transparent manner.

Commercial add-ons like Rational Tools, RapidClipse, etc. may provide extra features, other IDEs also do, and there's nothing wrong with closed-source competitors like IntelliJ, but if the only proper IDE support for an open Enterprise ecosystem is available in a closed, sometimes proprietary way, a great piece of Enterprise Lifecycle support would be missing.

I agree but unfortunately many non-Red Hat Eclipse IDE contributors have dropped away. The community needs to step up and help or convince other vendors to come back.

This has been the case fo many years now. I would raise this issue with the Eclipse IDE and in the meantime recommend checking out either NetBeans or IntelliJ Ultimate. When I give Java EE training classes at work I always use NetBeans as it is free and includes GlassFish (integrated).

Me and my friend Bauke have been talking about helping out here for the JSF
part. I wonder though, would it be an option for Red Hat to donate it's
current JSF tooling to the WTP project?

It's clearly ahead wrt to things like EL completion and navigate into EL
expressions from Facelets, but it does need some updates for both JSF 2.2
and JSF 2.3 (for instance, the @FacesConfig annotation was added which
switches between a 2.2 pseudo and 2.3 mode, something which IDEs don't know
about as of now).

Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
