It assumes you're using NetBeans, and begins with having you setup the example using NetBeans without explaining anything. I've been struggling for a while in trying to get the example to work in Eclipse WTP, in vain. Why couldn't the examples have been done with just ANT instead of something IDE-specific?<br /><br />I'm trying the <a href="http://www.exadel.com/exadelstudio/gs/ESJSFGettingStarted.pdf">tutorial from Exadel</a> now. It's still IDE-specific but at least it's on Eclipse <span style="font-style: italic;">(Exadel Studio)</span>. It gives me the chance to evaluate Exadel Studio at the same time. <br /><br />Is there a good tutorial out there that goes over the rudiments and best practices without being IDE-specific?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/197988713245701045-3928998246889248462?l=calenjava.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Calen Martin D.

The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Exadel</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">plugin</span> looks more interesting since they've <a href="http://home.nestor.minsk.by/computers/news/2007/04/0506.html">recently partnered with Red Hat</a>, which probably means good future support for <a href="http://www.jboss.com/products/seam"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">JBoss</span> Seam</a>.<br /><br />Since <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Exadel</span> already comes bundled with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">WTP</span>, I'm currently downloading a plain Eclipse to install <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Exadel</span> on, so that it doesn't <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">interfere</span> with my current Eclipse-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">WTP</span> installation.<br /><br />I also just downloaded <a href="http://www.netbeans.org/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">NetBeans</span></a> and it's Visual Web Pack, just in case the Eclipse <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">plugins</span> don't workout. ;-)<br /><br />One of the appealing things I've seen about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">JSF</span> is it's support for drag-and-drop tooling. I'm hoping that one of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">JSF</span> tools will provide <a href="http://software.orangeandbronze.com">our team</a> with efficiency without sacrificing elegance.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/197988713245701045-3778680417258183387?l=calenjava.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Calen Martin D.

However, a quick check I did on the archives of the developer mailing list showed that the posts are few and far between, with the last post being in mid-October. I also poked around their site for a roadmap but found none. I was even just hoping for some change notes but didn't find those either. Anyone from the DBUnit team care to give us some news? =)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/197988713245701045-7936769429170289275?l=calenjava.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Calen Martin D.
