JSF HJC (Hover/Jump/Colors)

Highlights JSF EL expressions #{...} in xhtml/html/xml editors, independently from TextMate token scopes. Also supports highlighting selected attribute names and their values. Also adds JSF EL completion with Ctrl+Space for #{bean} and #{bean.member}. Also adds JSF/PrimeFaces tag and attribute completion (p:, h:, f:, ui:) in XHTML/XML. Also adds hover cards over #{bean.member} with resolved Java class and method line. Supports Ctrl+Click (Go to Definition) from #{bean.member} to Java method/class. Includes color profiles: default, custom, disabled. default is good with theme default ligth+

Autocompletion (Ctrl+Space)

JSF EL completion

• #{ -> suggests managed beans
• #{bean. -> suggests bean properties/methods (from Java source)
• #{item. -> suggests row object members when item comes from var="item" (for example p:dataTable, ui:repeat)
• #{item.customer. -> supports nested property completion when the Java types can be resolved

JSF/PrimeFaces markup completion

• <p: / <h: / <f: / <ui: -> suggests tags
• inside a tag -> suggests attributes for common JSF/PrimeFaces tags
• inside attribute values -> suggests common values (selectionMode, filterMatchMode, booleans, etc.)
• EL snippets in attribute values (#{...}, #{bean.method}, #{not empty ...})

Notes

• For EL type-aware completion to work well, Java collections should use generics (example: List<OrderItem>).
• Java source lookup uses jsf.hjc.hover.javaRootRelative (default: src/main/java).
