A simple preview which is generated at the top of the CSS Style dialog allows you to see the changes before you apply them. You can import an existing stylesheet by using the import annotation within your webpage file. The Visual Page Editor allows you to create new style classes in existing stylesheets, as well as edit them. The Edit Style Class dialog is provided for this purposes. Select the element for which you need to create or edit style class, and press button next to the styleClass field in the Properties view.
This will display the Edit Style Class dialog, which is shown in the image below:. Choose a style class from the variants provided, and click on the OK button to apply the changes.

Click on the Apply button to apply the changes without closing the window. The Edited properties tab provides a preview of the properties which are set for the existing style class. You can easily modify them with the help of this wizard. The Preview tab provides a way to view the content of the selected CSS file. This tab is hidden if no CSS file is selected.
At the top of the CSS Class dialog you can see a preview box which visualizes the result. To edit the preview you should double click in the box. The Visual Page Editor also makes it possible to create visual templates for unknown tags. The Template dialog is shown in the image below:. The Tag Name field is used to define the name of the unknown tag.
The given field should be filled in according to the pattern: taglib:tag. Also make sure you do not surround the name with angle brackets which will cause the validation error see the figure below.
The Tag for Display field in the Template dialog requires specifying a type of tag. Check the Children field if you want to mark a tag as a child element.
As for the Style field, you can fill it out manually or make use of the button next to the field to bring the CSS Style dialog See Section 3.
You can view all defined templates in the Section 9. If you have a number of custom tags for which you have defined visual templates, you may need to share the templates definitions with other team members. In this case you can use export and import functionality for unknown tag templates. Here is what the wizard looks like. At this point click the Browse button to set the path where to save the external XML file with templates, and then click the Finish button to complete the export.
Importing follows a similar procedure. Click the Browse to point to the XML file which stores the custom tags templates, and then click the Finish button to complete the import. Show bundle's messages as EL expressions.
The Externalize string button provides the ability to export a selected string. The first page of the Visual Page Externalize string wizard asks you for the name of the Property key you wish to create and the then Property value for that key. You then have the choice to either have the wizard generate a new properties file for the string or to select a property file that already exists if one is available. On the second page of the wizard enter a new or select an existing folder where the property file of the string will be stored.
Be sure to also name the property file. By clicking on the Advanced button you will be shown an option to link the property file that will be created, to a file already on your computer. This step is not necessary for externalizing a string. The final page asks you to choose a place for the string bundle to be registered.
By default the option of manually by user will be selected. The Preferences button provides quick access to the Visual Page Editor preferences. This page provides a number of options associated with the editor representation. For more detailed description on each option please read the "JBoss Tools Preferences" chapter under Section 9. Clicking on the Refresh button refreshes the displayed information.
The Page Design Options button displays a window which helps you specify necessary references of the resources. It is represented by a window with four tabs. The first one, Actual Run-Time folders , is used to replace absolute and relative path values when generating a preview:. The third tab, Included tag libs , can be used to add Taglibs that can be used by the editor for getting appropriate templates to generate a preview:. And finally, the Substituted El expressions tab is used to add El expressions that will be substituted by the editor when generating a preview:.
The first two tabs of the window let you define actual runtime folders. The example below will help you understand how this can be done. When you open the main. Let's consider an example for other tabs. For instance, the definition of your CSS on the page is the next:. This will work fine in runtime, but the Visual Page Editor does not know the value of requestContextPath in design time. In order to see the necessary styles applied in design time your should add a path to your stylesheet in the CSS File Path section.
And the last Substituted EL expressions section is provided to specify the values for specific EL variables.
It can be useful for a preview generation. When you switch to Preview view, you will also see this expression. Now click the Page Design Options button and set the value for the user. As a result in Visual mode and Preview view the word World is displayed. Vertical Source on top.
Vertical Visual on top. Horizontal Source to the left. Horizontal Visual to the left.

How to disable JBoss Tools editors in Eclipse? Ask Question. Asked 9 years, 2 months ago. Right-click on the toolbar at the top of your workspace and select Customize Perspective from the context menu.
The BrowserSim toolbar button will now be present in the toolbar for your current perspective. Launching BrowserSim from the toolbar will either present you with the simulator and a blank webpage or the webpage currently open in the Internal Web Browser. This chapter will introduce you to the functionality provided by JBoss Tools Palette. The JBoss Tools Palette contains a developer's project tag libraries and provides possibility to add any tag libraries to it. Also you can choose a necessary one from the list of already existing tag libraries:.
By default the JBoss Tools Palette is not displayed. The standard Eclipse Palette is blank by default. Content of the palette is available only if Visual Page Editor is open and active, while JBoss Tools Palette always contains a predefined set of components. State is associated with an instance of Visual Page Editor. It means that the state can be different for various files and each new file opened in Visual Page Editor will have the default state of Palette with all components collapsed.
The Palette can be customized by using the following buttons on the Palette toolbar, which provide the following functionality:. The JBoss Tools Palette contains existing libraries of tags, and the Palette editor provides a way to add a new library, or edit existing libraries. To open the editor, click on the Palette Editor icon.
The window has two parts. There is a reflected grouped list of components on the left side of the palette editor. Each group is divided into multiple groups, each of which is a tag library.
To the right side of the palette editor is an editing window where it is possible to change values of group or tag library attributes that you have chosen on the left part of the window. It can also be done by right click and using Edit… option.
The Palette Editor provides the following functionality when working with existing tags or icons:. Icons is the root folder for the icon sets. The first step is creating the icon set. Set the value of the name in the Add Icons window and click the Finish button.
A new element will appear in the list. Also you can delete the set. Right click on the set of icons that you wish to remove and select the Delete option from the pop-up menu, or click the Delete keyboard button.
When the set of icons is created, new icons can be imported to it. Set the name of the icon and the path and click the Finish button. The first step in working with the editor is creating a group of libraries.
Set a name of a group in the Create Group window and click the OK button. A new element will appear at the end of the list. You are allowed to edit or delete a group as well. If you'd like to change attributes of a group, use the right editing window of the palette editor or the Edit In order to remove the group, right click on the group that you wish to remove and choose the Delete option or click the Delete keyboard button. The group maintains a list of tag libraries. If you would like to create your own library, right click on the group and select the Create Group… option.
After setting the attribute name and the path of the icon, click the OK button. You are allowed to edit or delete the tag library, as well. If you'd like to change attributes of the library or choose another icon, use the right editing window of the palette editor or the Edit In order to remove the tag library, right click on the library that you wish to remove and chose the Delete option or click the Delete keyboard button.
When the library folder is created, new tags can be added to it. In the Add Palette Macro window you can configure the tag element. The Name attribute is mandatory, as it defines the name of the tag element. Other settings are optional. You can choose the icon and set the Start Text and the End Text for your tag element. If your tag text is too long, use the Change The pipe " " symbol can be used to control the cursors position for the start text and end text values.
After all the attributes are set, click the Finish button. You are also allowed to edit or delete the tag. If you would like to change the attributes of the tag or choose another icon for it, use the right editing window of the palette editor or the Edit In order to remove the tag, right click on the tag that you wish to remove and chose the Delete option, or click the Delete keyboard button.
The removal option is enabled only for custom tags. JBoss Palette tags can not be removed but can be modified. If you have changed any object in the tree view and you don't like the final result you can always use the Restore Defaults button. Clicking this button will restore defaults for the object selected and for its children elements.
Please remember that the button will only restore data for objects defined in the default palette. If selected object is created by you, the button will be disabled. Child objects added by you will not be removed.
If libraries are not displayed in the palette, check whether they are selected. Click the plus sign to expand the libraries of the group and make sure that a tick is put next to the wanted libraries. Click the OK button. The new groups will now be shown on the palette:. The names of the elements are compound. The first part is the group name and the second is the library name. Find out more information on how to add particular tags see the Section 5.
Open your JSP file, place the cursor in a place where you would like to add a tag, and then click that tag in the palette. In the Insert Tag window that appears, you can set the value of general and advanced attributes of the tag that you choose. In the example below the commandButton tag has been inserted. If you place the cursor over any tag, a balloon hint is shown with all the tag attributes. The cursor position after adding a tag into a file is specified by " " symbol in the tag template on the right in the Palette Editor window.
After adding this tag into your file the cursor will be in the attribute type.

As you can see JBoss Developer Studio takes care of all the details.
Chosen TLD file , name and prefix of the library and Library URL are detected thus just need to set the Group name to which you wish to place this tag library. You can either add this tag library to an existing Group or just create a new one. Once you are finished, you will see the new tag library added to the JBoss Tools Palette. Tag libraries can also be imported with the Import button.
This button is found at the top right side of the JBoss Tools Palette. By clicking on the Import button you will see the Import Tag window a similar like in the Drag-and-Drop method see Section 5. Set the name and prefix of the library and Library URL. You also need to set the Group name to which you'd like to add your tag library.
Like in the previous method you can add it to an existing Group or create a new one. On this Import Tag form you can use Browse More information about style sheets can be found in Section 3.
The CSS Editing Perspective combines a set of views which allow you to see the structure of your css files, edit them and see the results.
