Hi All, Over the past year there has been several posts about JSF where comments from the community has raised a concern - there is no standard way of packaging, or defining additional design time metadata for custom JSF components. This has been acknowledged by the JSF EG, and over the past 8 months there has been ongoing work to submit a proposal for a new JSR addressing these needs based on the initial proposal posted on JSF Central Awhile back I wrote an article - Build
Custom JSF Components - addressing the concern about the
lack of a defined way of providing. The hope is that through this JSR,
the Java community can
work together to define a standard solution to this problem. The Expert
Group
will consist of a representative set of tool vendors and component
authors, and
the feedback of the community will be actively solicited. I recommend that if you have an interest in
creating your
own custom UI components this is a great opportunity to get involved in
improving the overall design-time experience for JSF UI components. Here is the URL for more information about this
