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

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.
