ok - so you have to go into your IDE and setup something differently. I hereby introduce you to an Open Source project where new community members are effectively hindered to download the sources, do a clean build, and do a change/restart-cycle without a full build, and without having to setup something special in their IDE: MyFaces. Instead, on every change in either shared or any of the component classes (thanks to the template approach, no we are up to I would say 30-40% of the MyFaces sources which need a full build on a change) they will have to do a full maven build again. Good luck with finding people interested in finding and fixing bugs like this. For the committers, it is very much the same - change/rebuild/restart, change/rebuild/restart, change/rebuild/restart... do you really appreciate this pattern of MyFaces development? Now with the component-templates, you also don't have code-complete, etc. when writing it - so you're walking in the dark without IDE support, which will mean even more change/restart-cycles. Don't you see why Mario is not interested in this? regards, Martin
