Re: JSF CDI code assist

[Josh Juneau]

Thanks for the message and sorry for the issues Jason.  Along with the other 
suggestions that were mentioned, have you attempted to create a Maven project 
using Jakarta EE?

I also had similar issues when trying Jakarta EE 9.1 (jakarta.*) namespace.  
However, I was using PrimeFaces 10, which I later determined was not 
compatible.  I'll need to try again now with PrimeFaces 11 to see if EL code 
completion works.

Your not using the version with the new Jakarta namespace instead of the javaee 
namespace are you?

The code completion DOES work when using an older Java EE API project.

So if you open a legacy project, the behavior works? But with a new project, it 
does not?

Have you tried "cloning" the working project to see if it works today? Can you 
replicate your "SampleBean" example based on the older project? How do the new 
project and the old projects differ?

And, honestly, it is a deal breaker. Otherwise you may as well be using a 
"dumb" editor. Auto complete is part and parcel to the modern IDE experience.
