Overview
WebFaces is a new, coming soon, visual RAD tool that we are developing to
speed even further web application development. The tool is developed in the
form of a plugin for the popular NetBeans and Sun One Studio IDEs. Initially
based on TICL as the underlying UI framework, it will evolve together with TICL
towards support of the upcoming JSF (Java Server Faces) specification. Hence
the name WebFaces.
Core Features

| Page Designer |
The page designer is full-blown JSP page creation tool with a component
palette for all TICL UI elements, property editors, complex component
editor wizards for menus, table views and the like. You can switch from
a page designer view to code view to run-time view. The page designer also
supports the high-level layout managers of TICL thus allowing you to easily
compose the visual layout of page and manipulate layout containers as any
other UI element.

| Code Generation Wizards |
The code generation wizards allow you to create event listeners, new components,
component instances, pages etc. in a matter of a few keystrokes and mouse clicks.

| Styling Editor |
The styling editor allows you to easily work with TICL styling objects
(styles, skins, renderers, themes, styling variables) by providing an
explorer view of all styling objects defined for a web application. Advanced
property editors for the various types of skin parameters such as a
color chooser, template editor, CSS style editor and
many, many more are included.
