Craig, Thank you a lot for your reply. I respect you a lot so it is with all due respect that I asking this: why crave out an entire new framework as shale when JSF should have been extended to take care of whatever shale represents. I am learning shale, and I am grudging about having to code the tags--something I do not have to do with Java Studio Creator for JSF. My thinking is that Creator should be extended to enable developers to choose whether to develop JSF specific or Shale specific application. What do you think? Oma.

Meanwhile, which IDE is around for developing visually the view layer of shale application? Instead of a new IDE, Studio Creator should be extended for Shale. I am just learning Shale cuz we use struts at work but hand coding everything takes the fun out of design experience compare to developing visually with Creator. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
