Re: searching for component

[Mike Kienenberger <mk...@gmail.com>]

I'd go with vertical/horizontal or page/line.  normal/reverse don't
carry any meaning on what to expect.   You should probably keep any
further discussion to the mailing list (dev makes the most sense for
this topic) as others might have better suggestions.

Yes, definitely open a JIRA issue and attach your patches.   It's
certainly useful!

Thanks for improving MyFaces!
