Eclipse, NetBeans Get Support for AJAX, JSF

By Alex Handy

February 15, 2006 — Sun Microsystems and Exadel late last month introduced tools for the development of AJAX applications that integrate with JavaServer Faces. Sun’s NetBeans-based Studio Creator Pro 2 is now available for free from Sun’s Developer Network Web site, while Eclipse-based Exadel Studio Pro 3.5 is available from that company’s Web site for US$199.

For the Eclipse crowd, Exadel’s Studio Pro 3.5 offers support for Facelets 1.0 and the next release of the Struts framework, code-named Shale, and has a new drag-and-drop interface for developing AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) applications from basic components.

“We have visual editors that recognize components. You can drag components from a palette onto your pages,” said Igor Shabalov, vice president of product development at Exadel, of the enhancements. The components-based development environment includes components for suggestion and comment boxes for JSF and AJAX, he said, adding that Exadel believes developers should not have to alter JavaScript code in pages. “Our strategy is to generate JavaScript components for them instead.” Exadel’s newly updated Studio Pro is distributed as a set of plug-ins for Eclipse 3.1.

Based on NetBeans 4.1, Sun’s Studio Creator 2 is the company’s first foray into the AJAX space. This version also offers a host of new JSF components.

Dan Roberts, director of developer tools marketing at Sun, said, “The first release had the reference implementation of JSF included. This release we’ve added a whole new library of components. The components themselves have advantages in that they’re themable, so you can predesign themes for individual components, like buttons and images and links.”

Roberts went on to say that Sun has included a number of AJAX code snippets, such as one to integrate coordinates onto a Google Map.
