NetBeans IDE Requirements

The Java EE 6 Tutorial and First Cup need NetBeans IDE to provide the following features so we can create, package, deploy, and run the examples:

EJB

• Default EJB-type for EE 6 projects should be no-interface local view EJBs
• File->New->Enterprise Bean->Singleton
• Add EJB to WAR project support:
  • Right-click->Add to WAR->EJB....
  • If an EJB is added to WAR project, create ejb-jar.xml in WEB-INF.
  • Ability to add EJB JAR project to WAR.
  • Nice to have: add necessary JCDI annotations to EJBs created in WARs so they can be used with JSF.

JPA

• Update wizards to reflect JPA 2.0 defaults
• Update wizards for new JPA 2.0 composite primary key features

Security

• Option to set keystore, truststore, keystore password, and truststore password within NB.

JavaServer Faces/Facelets

• Update wizards to reflect JSF 2.0
• Update Facelets plugins (4) to work with NB 6.7 (done)
• Update Facelets plugins to reflect Facelets 2.0
• Add composite component support to Facelets plugin (ease-of-use)
