I just noticed that it seems to be very easy: Using Apache Maven you just need to create a META-INF folder in your resource-folder. Every file placed in this directory will be copied into the META-INF folder of the jar. To create an out of the box usable JSF-component JAR archive you need to place the tld and a minimal faces-config.xml into /META-INF.
Now I think I know everything I need to know... 2006/1/21, Hendrik Neumann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi List, > > I have some problems to create a jar file which contains an > "out-of-the-box" usable JSF-Component. > > I analyzed the jar-file from myfaces-all.jar and I noticed that you > put the tld and the faces-config.xml into the /META-INF directory of > the jar file.
