how to debug the myfaces code

[Anu Padki <AM...@lbl.gov>]

pardon me, I am so new to jsf and myfaces.
I am trying to use some components, the way I do it is by downloading 
tomahawk.jar. However, I dont like the fact that when the things go wrong I 
cannot figure out which piece of the s/w is not working. I am wondering if 
some one can inform me on how to and from where download the source and 
make it part of my own application/prject.
Thanks for the help.

I use NetBeans 5.0. It allows me to debug from my webapps right into the 
MyFaces code. Just download the MyFaces sources, create a freeform project 
for MyFaces using the supplied build.xml files and make your application 
dependent on it.

Basically the sourcecode is hosted on the apache subversion server,
and you can build the code with ANT, the build process is very easy
you just download the code and do a build all.

There are several good tutorials on how to start the build process within your ide.

I personally use Eclipse and for debugging purposes I just dump the affected
code into my actual project.
(Vice versa for JSF development I have a dummy webapp in the JSF hierarchy
so that I can avoid the ant cycles)
