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

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