Daniel Azarov have been busy the last few months improving our Find references
and Refactoring support for JSF and Seam Expression Language (EL) references.
During that work Daniel created a few movies showing of the features and they are added to the individual jira's about the subject. I thought it would be nice to also get these shown to a broader audience - so here they are, for you to see.
If you want to try this use the M3 release or nightly builds of JBoss Tools.
Searching/Find references
Standard search (Ctrl+Shift+G) finds method references in EL
By using the standard Find references
functionality EL expressions that refer to the method shows up
next to java references.
Refactoring
Refactoring Demo - renaming the booking
component to cooking
.
Shows how the rename of a component takes effect in both Java, components.xml, pages.xml and .xhtml files.
Notice how it handles changing default injection to explicit naming, i.e.
@In Booking booking;needs to be changed to
@In(value\="cooking") booking;to continue to work.
The following movies show a similar rename, just initiated from the components view instead and an example of what happens for read only files.
Rename Seam Component in Seam Components View
Rename component in read-only files
Renaming of EL variables used in Strings
These are for code that refers to EL inside Strings, for example
log.log("${user.name} did something")
.
The demo shows this applied in various locations:
Have fun!
