Description sknitelius 2016-02-10 22:28:31 UTC

The JSF Editor suggests used ID's when assigning a new id to a JSF component.

When setting the "for" attribute (e.g. on outputLabel):

* no Autocomplete is offered.
* the id entered is not validated for existence.

This can be quite painful, since some components will throw an obscure exception if a non-existing id is entered in the "for" attribute.

Please add:

* Autocomplete for the "for" attribute. 
* Validate that the id entered exists.
