Yes, it is possible: Create a new category in the in the "Palette" window on the right side; open the Tools menu "Palette"-> "HTML/JSP code clips". The dialog offers you the list of ICEFaces components: Drag and Drop the components one by one from the dialog list to the Palette window.

You'll have to put <redirect /> into your navigation rule:
<navigation-rule>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>goto_example</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>example.jsp</to-view-id>
<redirect />
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

It seems to be possible to use Icefaces 1.8.2 with Netbeans 6.8 M2 (JSF 1.2) - but the component palette is not shown. Is it possible to activate it somehow?

This works for me in Facelets - omitting "/" and from-view-id = .xhtml, to-view-id = .iface:

<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>fromPage.xhtml</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<description>Simple commandLink navigation.</description>
<from-outcome>nextPage</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>toPage.iface</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

I've found the answer in the Jira bugtracker (http://jira.icefaces.org/browse/ICE-3281): It is a Netbeans buildfile problem: You have to change in nbproject/project.properties the entry: client.urlPart=your_own_start_page.iface

I'm trying to setup an Icefaces Facelet project without using welcomeICEfaces.xhtml as a start page - how can I achieve that? I've tried other start pages, like index.xhtml, but failed with this. welcomeICEfaces.xhtml seems to be hardcoded somewhere ...

Perhaps this entry in the Netbeans log file might help?

The ICEfaces 1.8.2 plugin for Netbeans with Facelets doesn't work for me neither on Linux nor on Windows - the project wizard seems to be buggy, perhaps some libraries are missing and/or the Installation Guide is misleading. As a viewhandler only the standard Facelet handler is inserted in the faces-config.xml automatically, the web.xml seems to be written correctly with ICEfaces settings.

Perhaps a problem with case sensitivity on Linux? I'll test it with a fresh Netbeans installation.

There seems to be a nbm packaging error in the current version for 1.8.2 - See http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/detail.do?id=153901

I'm wondering where the "Visual Icefaces" components are in Netbeans 6.7 RC 2? I've installed "ICEfaces 1.8.1 Project Integration plugin for NetBeans 6.7 RC2".
