Using JQuery within Eclipse

JQuery is a great tool for writing Ajax app. You'll get more info in the website, but it becomes incredibly popular these days.


To have an dev environment within eclipse:

-First download JQuery

-Then get web tools platform eclipse plug-in at http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/

-Then modify the plugin with http://www.langtags.com/jquerywtp/


You'll get the autocompletion within eclipse for Jquery code, HTML and CSS, but no syntax checking for JQuery.

For debugging Firefox is ok.

ajax and java : google toolkit

Google toolkit is also a good way to create interactive web applications...

But the goal it aims is a bit wider as jquery...

Ajax tools

GWT is pretty good, but the API is a bit restrictive. I heard that Google team is not using it..?

Here's a site that compares those techno:

jsf ajax

i think ctp should focus on jsf components that hide the ajax ;-)

JSF and Ajax

Balz, I always thought that JSP tags to write Javascript where ok for basic Ajax command. E.g. calendar function, menu organisation, checkBox content checking, etc..

But when it comes to serious client interaction, you need to deal with the Javascript and put your hands in the code. So JQuery is good because it helps you deal with your JS, offers you lots of predefined function, is light (16 kb) and on top of that it makes your code much clearer and maintenable.

Apparently a good alternative would be script.aculo.us...

JSF, Ajax and jQuery

Most of the rich JSF component libraries have started to include more than just partial page loads or client validation - some nice eye-candy stuff like drag'n'drop or panel effects ship with e.g. JBoss RichFaces. The nice thing here is that you don't have to care about JS, the integration with your Java layer is just vanilla ice cream :-) and you're writing GUIs in a quite declarative way.


For the really serious GUI effects, jQuery is probably quite nice (how does it compare to Dojo, OpenRico, ...?). Mentioning RichFaces, they ship also a jQuery component: http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/jQuery.jsf?c=jQuery
