Integrating MyFaces with Java Studio Creator...possible?

[da...@att.net]

Sorry if this quesiton has been asked before, but I didn't see the answer in the huge MyFaces FAQ (..need to work on that FAQ!).

So, can MyFaces be integrated to work with Java Studio Creator?

I believe that MyFaces can co-exist with JSF RI as per the FAQ, but as far as "integration" with JSC where you can drag and drop components, can that be done?

What i am looking for is a way to get a web page with tabbed panes.  I believe that MyFaces supports this right?

Thanks!

One of the Sun Java Studio Creator engineers, Edwin Goei, has
collected information about the steps required to import third party
component libraries into Creator.  Start at:

  http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/People/WritingCustomComponents

Basically, the components themselves have to conform to some simple
rules, and the library must also supply some extra metadata that
describes how they should be integrated into Creator, packaged into a
JAR file with a specialized manifest.  I haven't had time to check
whether the MyFaces components conform to the rules, but it would be a
worthwhile exercise to verify this (and provide the appropriate
metadata and packaging options in the build).
