[forge-dev] [Need Help to do some updates on my forge folder to get scaffold customized]

[Richard Kennard]

Ahmed,

Sounds great! Note there is an existing RichFacesWidgetBuilder in Forge. The intent would be you create a new PrimeFacesWidgetBuilder for purely PrimeFaces 
components, and combine that with RichFacesWidgetBuilder and HtmlWidgetBuilder (and probably ReadOnlyWidgetBuilder) by using CompositeWidgetBuilder.

You should *not* need to create your own WidgetBuilder that creates both PrimeFaces *and* RichFaces components.

Re: the version of the sources, that's one for Lincoln :)

Regards,

Richard.
