4.1.3. Synchronized Source and Visual Editing

JBoss Developer Studio offers the flexibility to edit any files in either source or extra visual modes at the same time.

The project is yours and so is the source. JBoss Developer Studio provides you many different graphical editors to speed your application development. At the same time, you always have full control over all project source files. Any changes you make in the source view, will immediately appear in the graphical view.

The JSF configuration file editor has three views: Diagram, Tree and Source. All views are synchronized, you can edit the file in any view.
