Description sebastianovide 2011-04-24 10:32:38 UTC 
similar (or the same) as #196873 (http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196873)

JSF autocompletion for backing beans is not working on existing projects.

Just open an existing project with NB 7.0 and try to use the auto complete.... or press ctrl+click on a #{mybackingbean.myethod}.... it would not find it... 

(no problems at all with  NB 6.9.x).


The strange thing is that even if it works with this new class

@Named("hello")
public class NewClass {
    public String getMyMethod() {
        return "Hello";
    }
}

it doesn't work with existing classes in the same package and using the same annotations !!!!... ???????

see Bug 195636

I also have no EL completion for @Named beans on a existing project.

If I create a new project and move all the sources to it, it works for some short time. After reopening the project the completion does not see the beans again.

No maven, but mercurial is used with the project.

It looks like a big bug for being part of a stable release. In fact it makes it very uncompetitive compared with other IDEs with JSF2 projects

This issue has absolutely the same reason as issue #195636.
Marking as duplicate.
