| Overview |
| |
| MyFaces projects all use Maven 2.x to compile the code, run testing, etc. However sometimes |
| the standard maven plugins are not enough for the special requirements of MyFaces projects. |
| Therefore a number of custom Maven plugins have been created. |
| |
| Plugins |
| |
| * MyFaces-Builder-Plugin |
| |
| Used to build MyFaces Core 1.1.6 and later, and MyFaces Tomahawk 1.1.7 and later. |
| May be used to build other projects in the future. |
| |
| This plugin uses annotations on java source files to discover which are JSF |
| components, renderers, etc. This information is used to automatically generate a |
| suitable faces-config.xml and JSP ".tld" files. The annotations can be "real" |
| java1.5 annotations, or doclet-style annotations. |
| |
| In addition, the plugin can automatically generate JSP tag classes for JSF components, |
| automatically copying tag attributes onto a JSF component instance. |
| |
| And when selected, the builder plugin can also automatically generate JSF component |
| classes, defining "boilerplate" setter/getter and save/restore methods based upon the |
| abstract properties defined on an ancestor class. |
| |
| This plugin may also be useful for projects external to the MyFaces project. |
| |
| * MyFaces-Builder-Annotations |
| |
| A set of java1.5 Annotation classes for use with the MyFaces-Builder-Plugin. |
| |
| * MyFaces-Faces-Plugin |
| |
| A refactored/renamed version of the MyFaces-Trinidad-Plugin whose source is within |
| the trinidad project. |
| |
| This plugin is not currently in use. |
| |
| This renamed version was intended to be used in Trinidad and Core 1.2.x releases, |
| but the MyFaces-Builder-Plugin is currently intended to be used instead. |
| |
| The original MyFaces-Trinidad-Plugin was used for MyFaces Core 1.2.x releases, and |
| for all Trinidad releases. It reads a tree of xml files which define the properties |
| of JSF components in a project, and then generates faces-config.xml and .tld files, |
| and also can generate Component and Tag classes. |
