With IntelliJ IDEA you can easily configure navigation rules in faces-config files without making a lot of tedious typing. Just open a faces configuration file, select the Navigation tab, and then drag pages from project tree and drop them to the graph.
Added pages can be linked with mouse — just draw a line from one page to another.
@Named Web Beans references may be used in Unified EL expressions on a JSP or JSF page. @Named Beans support includes code completion, usage search, rename refactoring, go to declaration, and more.
