[Tomahawk] facelets

does anyone have an updated tomahawk.taglib.xml ? The one at the wiki 
does not seem updated.

Will Myfaces add full facelets support to its custom components?

Regards

Erlend

Not sure which method I think is better but I would definitely like
there to be a standard, updated way to do this for tomahawk. I vote in
that vain if it counts for anything :)

Also, won't there be more involved than just the taglib.xml file, such
as a Tag Handler to get the tree2 component to work?

It would be nice to have it automated, but really, is it necessary for
the short term? The taglib requires hardly any data, so is extremely
easy to maintain. To keep the maven site updated already requires
modifying its documents, so this is no harder. Sandbox already
requires even more work to maintain the TLD files than the work
required to support facelets.

Voting +1 on adding taglib.xml files to the META-INF directory of
tomahawk and sandbox without creating new JAR files.

Re: [Tomahawk] facelets

Actually, as far as I know, all of the MyFaces committers are +1 for
making a tomahawk.taglib.xml file for MyFaces part of the
distribution.   The problem is that we don't have an automated process
in place to keep the file up to date yet.   Hence Bruno's comment that
we'll address it in Tomahawk for JSF 1.2 since no committer has had
the time and energy to tackle it in our current build system.

As for "what harm", if we put something into the main tomahawk jar
file, it becomes exceedingly difficult for end-users to override those
definitions.   Since there's no process in place to automatically
generate the right definitions, there's a lot of room for error here.
 If we can't keep a community wiki page up to date with the correct
definitions, it stands to reason that a committer-only file
(committers being only a small subset of the community maintaining the
wiki page) is going to be worse, not better, at having the correct
entries in the taglib file.

I think Bruno's tomahawk-facelets.jar file is probably the best
short-term solution until we get the automated build in place.

Oh, come on, I've heard lame excuses before but this would seem to take
the cake.

It's not like facelets support requires additional code/classes/whatever
to use tomahawk and facelets, it is merely the extra xml file.

Now the end users are forced to try to track down a working file that
has a version that works with the version of tomahawk they're using.

Give 'em a break and just add the file and be done with it...

Hi, I have uploaded my little project which I created with info from
the wiki and other sources here:

http://code.google.com/p/tomahawk-facelets

It should be supporting tomahawk 1.1.6 and the sandbox. Hope it helps!

Re: [Tomahawk] facelets

It is probably that the next major version of tomahawk (the one
explicitly created for jsf 1.2) will integrate the facelets taglib
generation in the build process, as it will take advantage of the code
generation of the trinidad's maven-faces-plugin.

In the meanwhile, I use this library (implemented by myself):

http://people.apache.org/~baranda/tomahawk-facelets-1.0.jar

Feel free to use it, apache license...

instead of supplying two taglib-files... just create two jar-files with
nothing more in it, than
the two taglib files...
Then the deployment of the two jar-files is enough, whereas the
deployment of the two taglib-files 
requires additional work from the user...

I talked about this with Werner Punz... 
I thought: why not putting this file right away in the meta-inf of the
Tomahawk jar? 
Won't harm nobody but will certainly help a lot of people. 
Although I still subscribe to that idea, he had a point also: 

MF and facelets are indeed 2 different technologies, better keep the 2
apart.

Yet, it's another thing we can';tr forget to set up and currently the
file @MF Wiki is indeed to be stitched together manually with is kinda
funny (unprofessional). 
I think there is room for improvement, either in the form of a
facelets-integrated download.  (so Toma & Sandbox WITH the taglibs in
their meta-in dirs) or at least another entry in the download table just
for facelets: a link to the jsf-facelts.jar, and 2 links, to the
respective taglib files.
This, for me, would seem to be its logical place.
