Some weeks ago I said:
"And the next problem arises, which is very close to enough for me to start advising people to abandon woodstock:
I followed the instructions at <
http://www.netbeans.org/kb/60/web/updatewoodstock.html> to obtain and install the 4.3 build 6 (7/2/2008), and now EVERY jsf page is showing
up with this error in the designer view:
"Missing Body Element
There seems to be a missing body element, which is preventing the Visual Designer from displaying the page.
You must edit either the Java source file or the JSP source file, depending on where the error is, to correct the error."
The real problem seems to be thus: I am using project local copies of libraries for the projects, to aid the way my
organisation collaborates on development. These project-local libraries include the Woodstock components. It appears
this error throws when there is a mismatch between the copy of the Woodstock libraries in Netbeans and the project
local copy. I've resolved the issue once, and need to do it again, so will endeavour to write up a fix in the next
day or so in order that nobody else has to go through this.
