IBM's WSAD 5.1.1 now shipping with beta JSF IDE
843842Dec 5 2003 — edited Dec 19 2003I'm installing WSAD 5.1.1 right now, and am reading the release notes. It ships with a beta version of "JavaServer Faces Tooling." The release notes discuss its limitations briefly, but I haven't seen anything outlining it's capabilities. I suspect this is an IBM implementation of Faces...anyone out there know more about this?
I'm very curious to take it for a test drive. IBM seems to have been much more quiet about their IDE plans for JSF, unlike Sun and Oracle. I know they've been working on it for quite a while now.
I suspect it wouldn't be wise to build anything serious with this at this point. With Faces at EA4 still, there's undoubtedly substantial changes in store for the spec before it goes final.
Has anybody had a chance to give this a try?
Incidently, WSAD 5.1.1 also includes the WebSphere 5.1 test environment.
Btw, I apologize for not posting links to info on it. I haven't seen anything on their website about 5.1.1 at all. It was just released today, so they must be a little behind on their website.
