<div><div>Hi people,</div><div><br></div><div>Let me introduce myself. </div><div><br></div><div>My name is Rafael Benevides and I started to use JBoss Forge when it was called Seam Forge. I started to use Forge as a way to extend Seam Projects and adds custom components and libraries.</div>
<div><br></div><div>One of the features that brings more productivity to Seam projects is the Facelets Compositions. Based on the "Facelets fits JSF like glove", I (and some friends) started to write some custom components so instead of write: </div>
<div><br></div><div><h:outputLabel value="Label" for="input" /></div><div> <h:inputText id="input" value="#{myBackingBean.property}" ></div><div> <f:convertNumber /></div>
<div> <f:validateLength minimum="1" maximum="10"/></div><div> <a4j:support event="onblur" reRender="input"/></div><div> </h:inputText></div><div>
<h:message for="input" /></div>
<div><br></div><div>We could write only: <x:inputText label="Nome:" value="#{myBackingBean.property}" name="nome" required="true"/></div><div><br></div><div>With this in mind, I started a project called XSeam (focused in Seam 2.x) - I think that Pete heard about it when he came to Brasil and Edgar(Red Hat) talked about - the whole idea could be saw at this 15 min screencast - <a href="http://blip.tv/rafael-benevides/xseam-demonstration-with-subtitles-in-english-1321026">http://blip.tv/rafael-benevides/xseam-demonstration-with-subtitles-in-english-1321026</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I would like to known what do you think about this concept of XSeam? I am asking that, because last year I started to port XSeam ( <a href="https://github.com/rafabene/XSeam2">https://github.com/rafabene/XSeam2</a> ) as plugin to JBoss Forge ( <a href="https://github.com/rafabene/XSeam3">https://github.com/rafabene/XSeam3</a> ) . This project is in initial state and I have no time to dedicate to it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway it was a great opportunity to see the big potentials of Forge. </div><div>With the advent of Java EE 6 and other JBoss productsI I hope to be closest enough to help in other plugins like a Picketlink integration (for example). </div>
<div><br></div><div>Please, feel free to post any comments about the idea of having a plugin (maybe a scaffold provider) similar to XSeam and also about the plan of a PicketLink integration plugin?</div><div><br></div><div>
Thank you all</div></div><div><br></div><div>Rafael Benevides</div><div><a href="mailto:rafabene@gmail.com">rafabene@gmail.com</a></div><div>@rafabene</div>
