Well, so far it seems that only the "cost-ware" enhancements from Rational do add the visual JSF-editing. The have their own metadata-definitions. And a message we got from their dev-lab seemed to imply, that they want to keep their specs until JSF 2.0 has been finalized.
And their metadata-specs have not yet been publicily published... but seem to be available. regards Alexander -----Original Message----- From: Matthias Wessendorf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 10:58 AM To: 'MyFaces Discussion' Subject: RE: Providing component design-time meta data Jesse, sure JDeveloper supports that metadata spec, sicne it's a proposal submitted by Oracle ;-) But also, I am interessted to see, with what the eclipse guys come up, when JSF is integrated in "eclipse web tools platform project". I guess they are also interessted in a community solution.
