Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
For a while now I have been wanting Grails-style plugins for JSF.<br>
Maybe the best option is to start an open-source project and a<br>
repository (based on Maven, perhaps). Any thoughts on how we can<br>
facilitate this? Maybe<br>

I've actually been tinkering on something like this as part of side<br>
project of mine. Currently, I'm using a ClassLoader approach that, at<br>
run time, loads JARs from $PLUGIN_DIR and stuffs them in the<br>
ClassLoader. It currently supports ManagedBeans, Convertors and<br>
Validators. I haven't added support for Components yet, nor have I<br>
decided how best (if it all) to support mark up snippets in the plugin.<br>
As a PoC, it seems to work pretty well so far, but, due to the demands<br>
of GF development, my side projects have been starved of late. :|<br>
