I was very impressed by this demo for the oracle ADF designer but it uses Jdeveloper and we dont like the ADF licensing.
Which of the more open licensed JSF libraries (if any) might give the closest/best drag & drop designer functionality using Eclipse? We would consider richfaces/primefaces/icefaces etc and dont know which one(s) offer the best designer experience
Check out JBoss Developer Studio. It's tightly integrated with RichFaces:

Check out this link http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/dragSupport.jsf The site has lots of example for richfaces. I tried to learn primefaces but switched to richfaces as it was bit easier to learn and ajax support is awesome.

I'am using Jdeveloper(12.1.2 & 12.1.3) since 2 years and untill now i use ADF MDS to customize and personalize my jsf pages.
Now i have to "customize and personalize my jsf pages" without ADF.
My questions:
Is there a tools or framework which could help me to solv my issue?
Does somebody deal already with this issue?
What it's JSF own approach on this issue?
Thanks
There is no equivalent declarative way of doing this in JSF - you'll have to write Java code that will do all of this for you and change your pages at runtime - Why wouldn't you use MDS for this?
Please can any one tell me from where I can have Visual JSF designer that can be integrated with Eclipse ?
And Why netbeas doesn't have this functionality
I know that Myeclipse provides this ability, but it;s just run on 32-bit in addition it's not free.
Thanks in advance.
If you have the Dynamic Web Module facet and JavaServer Faces facet added on your project, right click on the page you want and choose Open with -> Web Page Editor.
That works only with pure JSF tags, not with third party library ones like Primefaces. You can also go through JSF Web Page Designer, but not sure how it will work since it looks it's not updated since long time ago.
I have a question for any JBoss Seam developers out there:
I am creating a web project using JBoss Seam by generating entities and reverse-engineering code from existing database tables. This is my first time developing a web app in JBoss/Java/JSF, being an old school .NET web developer from years ago.
How do I save user input in text controls, so that it stays on the web page after a page refresh? I used to use Viewstate or Sessionstate in .NET, not sure what the equivalent of this would be in Java/JSF. Someone mentioned using java beans, but not sure how to do that, and Googling produces little help.
Any comments much appreciated, thanks.
Rather than going through the steps required here, it might be easier for you to go through the Seam tutorial, which will give you the basics. You can then clarify things here afterwards:

Snaps is a (rather new) web framework growing out of the Eclipse Virgo community that (will) allow dynamic, componentized web UIs by exploiting the OSGi infrastructure. Apparently it is the heir of "Slices", the previous attempt at this.
What I am wondering is whether there is any work ongoing in looking at how JSF (2) can be combined with such an approach? Is this at all possible? If so, is there any concrete work ongoing?
There is no work going on looking at JSF specifically or any other Web framework for that matter. Snaps aims to give you the dynamic runtime ability to compose your web app without restricting your choice of web framework in any way. It definitely doesn't aim to be another web framework.
I know some people have had JSF running on Virgo so I don't see any reason that you can't use it with snaps although I haven't tried it so I can't say for certain. If you do find a problem raise a bug on the Virgo project :)
Chris.
In case you're still interested:
At the Virgo formus I know there is some guy who does have it running with FancyFaces.
If you might have found another solution, would be glad to hear.

I`m starting a new website project, and I would like to hear your experience and recommendations for the correct tools to be used. I have no limitations, aka open source, commercial, languages, etc.
Website features:
User generated content
Administrator content managment
Custom API for frontal and 3rd party usage of the website content
Selling physical and digital products
There are a lot of frameworks out there, such as MVC, Symphony, django, drupal and many more.
I would like to here from first hands experience what worked best for you, and more importantly what didn't.
Languages that I suggest to you:
PHP
ASP.Net
HTML
Python
Javascript
Java
Products:
Microsoft Visual Studio
Eclipse
Netbeans
Apache
ViM Or your favorite text editor
If you want to choose a framework do like this:
Python - Django
ASP.Net - MVC, LINQ, WPF, Silverlight, .Net in general...
PHP - Zend Framework
Java - Struts
I also suggest you to read some books about these suggestions that I gave to you. ;)
Use DotNetNuke. It is webforms based but is stable, with rich functionality and vibrant community.
it really depends upon you
I recently finished a project & used Java Struts 2 & MySQL. Simple & clean it went well.
Before that I did a project in Java Tapestry, Spring & Hibernate and MySQL as a database.
The thing is that you should keep things simple & use the tool/framework you are best with & plus consider what level of complexity is required by the problem domain.
Sometimes simple Servlets & JSP would suffice well you wont need any fancy frameworks.
The same goes for .NET & PHP or Ruby developers.
