You can edit JSF pages using the IDE's source editor. From the Projects window, you can double-click any JSF-related file node to open it in the editor.

Facelets Files

The IDE's editor provides the following support when editing Facelets pages.

Configuration Files

JSF 2.0 (JSR-314) does not require the Faces configuration file (faces-config.xml), however, if you add this file to your project, the following support is available.

Configuration Dialogs

Right-click menu support provides several dialogs that enable you to create entries into the configuration file:

Hyperlinking

Hyperlinking is available in JSF configuration files, enabling you to quickly navigate between a source and its reference. To make use of hyperlinking in configuration files, hover the mouse over a JSF class entity while pressing Ctrl. The class declaration displays as a hyperlink. Clicking on the link opens the appropriate Java class in the Source Editor. In Facelets (and JSP) pages, you can press Ctrl while hovering over managed beans, or accessor methods used within JSF tags. Clicking the hyperlink that displays opens the respective class or property in the Source Editor.
