The Exadel plug-ins provide for split-screen development, instant synchronization and visual editing of JBoss RichFaces components and JavaServer Faces configuration files. Drag-and-drop capabilities also are included. These plug-ins, along Ajax4jsf and RichFaces, were contributed to Red Hat, which owns JBoss, in March by Exadel. JBoss’s efforts will contribute to the delivery of Red Hat Developer Studio, an IDE due later this summer that will be a superset of JBoss Tools. JBoss and Red Hat runtimes will be part of Red Hat Developer Studio. Also part of JBoss Tools are Hibernate Tools, JBoss jBPM Tools, Drools IDE, JBoss Application Server tools and others. JBoss Tools features nightly builds and an Eclipse update manager for accessing the latest versions of plugins. Technology Industry
