Description Fabio CLA 2007-08-16 17:49:27 EDT
The components of JSF do not have auto complete for their atributtes.
Example:
jscookmenu of tomahawk have 2 attributes obligatory layout and theme.
I propose this attributes and others have the RIGHT codehints on Ctrl+space in code and in properties.
When i mean right codehints is, in this example for layout have this proposals: {hbr, hbl, hur, hul, vbr, vbl, vur, vul}.
For theme have this options:ThemeIE, ThemeMiniBlack, ThemeOffice, ThemePanel.

To support code hinting on third-party components like those provided in the myfaces project, additional meta-data is required.  We provide such meta-data out of the box for the core and html components in the JSF spec.  We would welcome any contribution you want to provide in terms of creating this meta-data for the Tomahawk component library.

Deferred due to lack of resources. Contributions from the community would be welcomed.
