Last Friday, I became a frustrated refugee from Eclipse which was not
helping me learn JSF. NetBeans hasn't been a great deal more help, but
it did help some and I got some more in the form of succinct questions
from Wendy Bosson at Harvard pointing me in the right direction.
Lots of elbow grease and grunts later, I succeeded in almost getting
both examples working, not without taking a few pot-shots at decisions
made in the content of the two books or at both Eclipse and NetBeans.
(Always easy to criticize anyone else's work after it's done.)
If you're a frustrated beginner like me, maybe these notes will be of
some use to you. If you're already over the JSF hump, don't bother
(unless you're looking for comic relief at my expense).
