We are happy to announce a relationship between the NetBeans and ICEfaces communities to facilitate migration for current Woodstock users. With the latest ICEface NetBeans plugin (v1.7.2SP1), you can add the ICEfaces framework to an existing project and begin to develop ICEface pages along side existing Woodstock pages. Resources have been created to aid migration, including a detailed Migration Guide and a Component Comparision Matrix between Woodstock and ICEfaces components. This is just the beginning of a relationship between the NetBeans and ICEfaces communities. Additional migration utilities are planned for upcoming ICEfaces releases.
