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

This is indeed an issue. For JSF 2.3 another issue is that it actually throws an exception when a faces config with version 2.3 is used, despite JSF 2.3 now being almost a year old.

I wonder if Red Hat would be open to contribute its JSF (RichFaces) tooling to WTP. This is somewhat ahead of WTP, and JSF/RichFaces is likely not that important to Red Hat anymore (RichFaces was EOL'd a while back).

Locally I've been working on the last published version of GlassFish tools a little, adding a small extra feature (the ability to just choose the home directory where GF/Payara is installed, and not having to choose one of the internal folders). I'm now 'fairly' up to date with the code to be able to add some other features I had planned.

Of course, there's much more needed, especially indeed bringing everything up to date with Java EE 8, and then EE4J/Jakarta EE.

Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms

Dear Colleagues,
 
the current version of "Java EE for Developers" (with Eclipse Oxygen) is still far behind the current state of Java EE 8.
This not only concerns the GlassFish tools, but also WTP.
Almost all technologies aren't referred updated.
E.g. When using JSF, still the deprecated "managed bean package" way is offered.
When using project facets, alsmost all the technologies are been offered in older versions.
We need to be vigorously and decidedly updating here, because not only does this endanger the Eclipse IDE,
but also the Java EE 8 standard, since Eclipse is the most widely used IDE for Java EE.
 
Best Regards,
Alex
