JDeveloper 11g preview and XHTML

I’ve been giving the JDeveloper 11g a shakedown since Europa has failed miserably so far. The database and JPA tooling works like a breeze.

Now, how about creating a simple XHTML file? The built in template is HTML 4.01 and the palette seems to be hardcoded for that version.

So ok. I made a simple template.
But, when you create a page from this template:

It barfs on the xml prolog.
It eats the doctype. It just disappears.
The palette doesn’t work.

So, no big deal for me; I don’t like palettes all that much.

So, either I’m missing something (I haven’t found a preference or even an XML
catalog to add dtd/schemas as is possible in Eclipse either) or the Oracle developers just haven’t gotten around to XHTML.

I’m about to create a facelet example and am a bit worried.
