I debugging some weird eclipse behavior today: the "jsf attribute autocomplete" functionality (ctrl+space inside a primefaces tag) didn't seem to work today in a particular file i was coding.
i had the following simple code:
<p:toolBarGroup ...
but when i'd invoke autocomplete for available attributes for that tag, eclipse was just returning "no default proposals".
i finally figured out 2 things that were wrong in the file:
* the <html ...> tag was missing the primefaces library namespace declaration (and was the old code from our app's previous jsf framework, richfaces), so i had to add it:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
* also, we're converting our app from richfaces to primefaces, so the old code was:
<rich:toolBarGroup ...
but the primefaces tag documentation/api for p:toolbarGroup uses a lowercase "b", instead of uppercase "B" in "toolbar", i.e.:
<p:toolbarGroup ...
so, the case of the tag name was the problem bc tag names are case-sensitive.
The best place to *find* answers to programming/development questions, imo, however it's the *worst* place to *ask* questions (if your first question/comment doesn't get any up-rating/response, then u can't ask anymore questions--ridiculously unrealistic), but again, a great reference for *finding* answers.
