Migrating a project using JSF Library to use JDT User Library


Existing JSF applications that use the JSF Library feature from earlier releases (WTP 3.1 and earlier), will continue to work in this release. The tool will detect an older workspace and configure the existing JSF application to use a 'Legacy Library Configuration' as the library type. Users are encouraged to switch to the 'Use Library' type.
