Hands-On JSF Design and Development: Round-Trip Engineering with Adobe and Eclipse
This exciting presentation focuses on the interoperability of the Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and the popular Eclipse platform to create next-generation JSF applications. Participants will see how to combine the creative power of Adobe software with the productivity of Eclipse to rapidly develop new JSF applications from start to finish.
Key highlights of the presentation include creating and deploying new JSF projects in Eclipse with the Web Tools Platform, generating advanced CSS-based layouts like professional web designers do, creating Facelets templates in Dreamweaver, dragging and dropping JSF components to build pages in Dreamweaver, data binding and event handling with JSF forms, and debugging a running JSF application in Eclipse.
