Known Issues

• The Visual Designer may sometimes fail to re-paint after the state of a component has changed. Forcing a refresh using the "Refresh" menuitem on the context-menu is a work-around for this issue.
• When adding new components to the Visual Designer the Outline View may become corrupted. To correct this click the design view panel itself (not on any components) - this will rebuild the Outline View.
• The ice:tree component does not support defining it's tree model structure  using the Visual Designer. It will, however, render an associated tree model in the Visual Designer if one is configured (the tree model must be provided by the application code).
• Using ice:panelBorder with nested containers may cause the Visual Designer to become corrupted. Saving the page and then closing and re-opening the page will generally restore the Visual Designer.
• The ice:menuBar has styling and positioning issues in the Visual Designer. It is possible to define a menu structure using the Visual Designer, however, the menu will not be rendered accurately at design time.
• See ICE-3581 for more details.

• Server-initiated asynchronous presentation updates for dynamic instantaneous data push.
• The ICEfaces Component Suite, a complete rich JSF component suite that fully leverages ICEfaces capabilities.
• Intelligent form processing that facilitates fine-grained interactions with the user as they manipulate a form.
• API support for rapid development of group-aware and collaborative applications, such as Chat, Webcast, social apps., etc.
• JSP or Facelets based development.
• Tool integrations for leading Java IDEs.
• Support for leading Java EE frameworks, such as Spring and JBoss Seam.
• Support for portlet development.
