[richfaces-dev] In search of the best way to include RichWidgets resources in RichFaces

[Lukáš Fryč]

Even though I would agree with the suggested solution as a temporary workaround,

I wouldn't recommend it for two reasons:

* we are losing fast turnaround (grunt dev / JRebel resource reload)
* we are losing advantage of potential maven/grunt integration which open us possibilities in form of web-development-world tooling (such as JS compilers)...* that could potentially replace our solutions which aren't maintained actively (Resource Optimizer)


Just today, I did several changes in a widget in order to improve it for consumption by JSF bridge code.

I can't imagine I would use copy&paste step you suggested.

One solution which would fit proposed solution would be introduction of grunt step which will copy the resources manually to prepared structure, based on on environment issue, e.g.:

export EXTTERNAL_LOCATION=~/richfaces/framework/target/classes/META-INF/resources/richwidgets
grunt dev copy-dist-to-external-location
// once dist/** is updated, it is copied to EXTERNAL_LOCATION, which everyone needs to setup on its own in order to achieve quick turnaround
