Eclipse JSF content assist not working

Question

I am trying to work with an (existing) JSF Project in the current Eclipse (Kepler SR 1). Sadly Eclipse is ignoring the links between JSF/JSP pages and ManagedBeans (via faces-config.xml). I cannot CTRL-Click on a #{myBean.someValue} (inside a tag attribute) and I dont get any autocompletion assist when i hit CTRL-Space inside #{}.

The project is using somewhat ancient library versions - maybe that is a problem?

• JavaEE 5
• Dynamic Web Module version 2.4
• JSF 1.1
• BEA WebLogic 10.0 as target runtime

I tried all the guides on stackoverflow and created a dummy project as described in the JSF Tooling User Guide but none helped. Any help appretiated!

Answer 1

I had the same problem with Kepler and solved the problem by

1. installing JBoss Tools
2. Right clicking the project > Configure -> Add JSF capabilities

Hope that helps others, too.

Answer 2

I had to uninstall IceFaces plugin to get the autocomplete of JBoss Editor to work.

a kind of interference...

JSF 1.1 IceFaces 1.8 ( but without plugin) Eclipse Mars
