Webapp Migration

I'm trying to redo a webapp that was designed some 3 years ago. It uses these com.sun.rave.web classes that from what I've been able to piece together is part of some N开发者_开发技巧etbeans garbage called Visual Web JSF. There doesn't seem to be a jar for this, and I'm not sure if it would work in IntelliJ even if there was. To be honest, having a web application dependent on IDE is just stupid. Does anyone know a way to get around this, or do I have to build this webapp from scratch?

I agree that tying oneself to a particular web design tool is ... ummm ... a bit short-sighted.

One migration path that is often mentioned is ICEFaces; e.g.

• "Woodstock to ICEFaces migration"
• "NetBeans Visual Web Pack Dead, What a Shame"
