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

Hi Alexander,
 Both Intellij (Ultimate) and NetBeans have excellent support for Java EE. Eclipse is definitely way behind, its support for _javascript_ is absolutely abysmal as well. 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). 

 Note, Oracle donated NetBeans to Apache, that donation looks to be going pretty well. 

 Excluding Eclipse, the state of Java EE tooling is pretty good.

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
