Its being a almost 2 months since is started to work with JEE6 and JSF 2.0.
I have to say that in this time i learned lots of things and every day i like the world of JEE6 more and more :)
Now that i understand the very basics the components that i use in my JSF pages, i would like to find some gadget that can help me speed up a little bit my programming(Currently i write all my pages in Eclipse Helios HTML editor).
What i am thinking about is a component palette, plugin for eclipse or desktop software (I dont need a brand new IDE, i already use eclipse Helios) that can help me create a JSF pages within minutes.
Back in college when i started using swing i discovered JFormDesigner it was a really great tool, i was able to create very rich GUI within minutes, it was really easy to use an very intuitive for learning.
I am wondering if is there any tool like that out there, but just for JSF 2.0.
Any suggestions?
You can try and use JBoss Tools.
I used to have all sorts of visual functionality with it - although, some times I tended to do things by hand as it was quicker.
You have the option to install the plugin or simply pay for the IDE: as you probably know, the difference is that buying the IDE you get support from JBoss. Using the open-source version you are getting a version with probable bugs, but workable.
I've been using the open-source version for almost 4 years now and love it.
Good luck!
Inside Netbeans, there is a Palette menu that allow you to create dataTable, edit form ... for entity object in one click. This become very handy for me. Oracle have JDeveloper which, imho, is very awesome. It allow you to create a simple CRUD Java EE web app without even writing a single line of codes. There is a demo on how to use JDeveloper here. Dont forget tool like DreamWeaver can allow you to create rich layout very quickly as well.

I'm trying to learn how to build a basic GUI using Java Swing. Right now I know literally nothing about it but I'm going through this tutorial. The first thing I noticed right off the bat was the title: "Learning Swing with the NetBeans IDE." Up till now I thought an IDE was basically just something that you could write and run code within (I've been using Eclipse) Why does this tutorial specifically encourage the use of NetBeans?
Edit: And can I just keep using Eclipse?
Maybe because Oracle owns/creates NetBeans.
https://netbeans.org/about/history.html
Because Netbeans was acquired by Sun (now Oracle). However I suggest you to use Eclipse, as it has the WindowBuilder GUI visual editor, in my opinion the best tool for Java Swing development. The tutorial in the Oracle website however is a good start for a Java Swing novice. Another simple tutorial can be found in here
In a nutshell, NetBeans is owned by the Oracle Corporation and the document you are reading is provided by them as well, therefore it makes sense that the tutorial encourages the use of NetBeans. Yes, you can keep using Eclipse, see the differences/similarities between NetBeans and Eclipse below:
What is the difference between Eclipse and Netbeans if I want to use only the Java in it?

I want to start on a new project regarding screen recording from web browsers, probably using a plugin or something similar (if it is possible). Basically I need a web interface from where the user runs something like a plugin, select the area where the screencast should be, press the record button, talk for maximum 5 minutes then the video should be uploaded to my server for further review. (I am doing this for a school project where the students/users use this max 5min videos to tell the teacher about an issue/problem etc.). I've researched (Google it :D) about different methods that I can use. I am a student aswell and I have a limited amount of programming knowledge mostly with python, html, css, javascript, objective c & php but I am more then glad to learn something new if is required. I've found an open-source plugin called ScreenBird
https://github.com/adamhub/screenbird
This is what I need but it requires from what I know a Python Server (correct me if I am wrong) which I don't have from the school. I can work only on a Apache server from where my issue, otherwise the ScreenBord should be enough. I don't want to go so much into programming the plugin because I want to work on the design of the website mostly for a better presentation. I really want to start working on this as soon as possible but now I am stuck on what tool to use and that's why I am writing this question: What is the best web-based screen recorder plugin for my needs?
For the Screen Installation instructions are given here: https://github.com/adamhub/screenbird/blob/master/README.md
I don't think you need a python server. You just need python installed.
You should be able to run it on localhost and local network, if you don't need it on the internet. Buying hosting for a python server might be useful in this case, its not too expensive :http://www.whoishostingthis.com/compare/python/#
You didn't mention what type of server you have access to, default could mean anything (Apache, IIS, TomCat etc)

I know that Community ediition doesn't support certain features of Ultimate but I want to know that there is NO way to make these features to run in anyway. For example, the Enterprise development (e.g. Tomcat, Glassfish, Oracle, etc.) or Web development (e.g. Spring, HTML5, etc. ). So, if I have to run these kind of development somehow can I succeed in doing these things only with the Community edition or I am locked and not able to do such things. Say, I don't have the luxury to go to Ultimate for some reason.
If you are a cheapskate use the EAP from Jetbrain's Confluence page.
The early access might have bugs - but it's free, has all the features of the Ultimate edition, and then some.
You may use IDEA Community Edition for editing the code, you just won't get any features specific to the servers you're using, e.g. run configurations. You'll have to launch your application using the command line. You'll be able to use Artifacts feature to build all the jars you need.
You won't get any Spring-specific code completion or code inspections, but you'll get a decent XML editor for its configuration files. You'll get some basic HTML editing features, but no JavaScript.
There's no way to get those features out of IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition source, they just aren't there.
BTW if you use Ultimate EAP as NimChimpsky suggests, and report plenty of bugs, the developers might be grateful for them and give you a free license in return at the moment of the release (around December).

I was figuring out on the net, how to create a desktop application with Java. I found I can do it through NetBeans IDE. Is there a better IDE?
Can you suggest me a suitable eBook for learning Java NetBeans?
There are three major IDEs for Java:
NetBeans - https://netbeans.org/
Eclipse - http://www.eclipse.org/
IntelliJ - http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/ (This one is a commercial product.)
Pick your religion.
Actually, you can create desktop application with Java Swing GUI Toolkit, which is a part of the Java JDK, regardless of the IDE. #Lee Meador gives you some to choose from.
Here is a tutorial on making a simple desktop application with NetBeans.
There are also tons of YouTube tutorials for beginners. Search for "Java tutorials" and you'll be all set.
IDE preferences are fairly subjective. Netbeans is not bad. Eclipse is also a good IDE. My favorite one, though, is IntelliJ IDEA. They have a free Community Edition which lets you do a lot of things, but I paid for it to get full functionality.
As far as eBooks for learning about the IDEs, I would suggest just looking on the website of whatever IDE you end up choosing.
Here's how I see things when it comes to IDE's:
NetBeans is fantastic for beginners, but the code it generates for the Swing WYSIWYG editor looks like absolute garbage. If you're okay with keeping the code in NetBeans and not worrying about how the code for you GUI looks, it's an excellent way to go if you don't feel like hard-coding Swing.
Eclipse is a very professional and powerful tool, but it's a bit daunting at times as well, and it's not quite as quick and easy to get things up and running. It has no built-in drag and drop Swing editor (although Google provides an excellent one called the Google Plugin for Eclipse) but it's got far and away the most powerful debugger I've ever used.
I don't know a lot about IntelliJ other than that it's also a good choice for beginners and professionals alike, but I haven't seen as much community support for it. That may just be because I've been an Eclipse die-hard for ages, but that's just how I see it.
What's more important than your IDE choice is that you figure out early on how to use it to its full potential. All three are excellent pieces of software, and all three will help you do whatever it is you want to build. But they can only help you if you learn to use their organizational tools, their editor/template options, their respective debuggers, etc. Honestly, I would say if you have any friends that are Java developers, choose whatever they're using at least for now so you have someone to go to when you don't understand how to use a particular option.

I've been digging through Stack Overflow as well as a number of Google searches, and I cannot find a satisfactory code formatter for JavaScript.
I have found several related tools, such as syntax highlighters and pretty-printers, but I am looking for a tool that I can ideally create a wrapper for in Eclipse and simply run from the menu bar. Hence, if any Java-based ones are available, that is a big plus. Free and/or open-source is preferred as well.
I am looking for something that my development group can use to maintain a consistent code style.
Edit: Thanks to kRON for linking to the format customizations page.
Edit: Related question on Stack Overflow.
This is by far the best I've come across: http://jsbeautifier.org/
Available as an online tool, or on the command-line using node.js or python.
The source code is available.
In one breath: Aptana Studio! Yes, it's Java based and free (Eclipse, as standalone or plugin).
You can also customize the formatting.
If you already use Eclipse, I recommend you to try Aptana, you can install it as an Eclipse Plugin.
For Eclipse IDE you can use JavaScript Code Formatter based on Goolge's Style Guide
For IntelliJ IDEA you can use the same js code formatter xml file , but previously you have to install a special plugin Eclipse Code Formatter Plugin, which solves the problem of maintaining a common code style in team environments where both IDEA and Eclipse are used
If you also need Java programming I can recommend 'IntelliJ IDEA'
It offers excellent JavaScript formatting and refactoring out of the box.
Have you tried jsfiddler. It's great for trying things out with Javascript. Built in JSLint & something called Tidy. Not sure whether that infers jstidy Piotr Zalewa is the guy who wrote it. May be worth giving him a Tweet #zalun to confirm.
If you are using notepad++, you can try jsminnpp plugin
