Test Framework Contribution

[Dennis Byrne <de...@dbyrne.net>]

I wrote an abstract test [1] that can marshal any number of TLDs and verify the following

 - are there setters on each tag handler for each TLD tag attribute?
 - are all tag handlers present in the classpath?
 - are there any duplicate tags?
 - are there any duplicate tag attributes?

Concrete subclasses handle TLD paths, like this [2].  I feel this will help us put an end to a seriously pesky class of bugs on the MyFaces project.

Does anyone here think this is a good candidate for the Shale test framework. ?  There are two dependencies [3,4] and I'll write some documentation.  I have to admit, I am a little bitter your team did not accept my very excellent submission to the logo contest [5], but I'd rather see this code placed where others can use it :)
