FaceletsTools Design View Support

FaceletsTools adds comprehensive support to Dreamweaver for Facelets UI design. Now you can create complex composite views and preview your pages instantly in Dreamweaver's Design View.

FaceletsTools also includes visual tags for Facelets to render a consistent visualization of your JSF pages at design time. You can also redesign your pages quickly by wrapping content with the Facelets UI Remove tag to make it invisible in Design View.

Additionally, FaceletsTools extends Dreamweaver's Live Data mode to enable you to preview live, data-driven JSF pages faster than ever.
