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 facilitate this? Maybe

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. :|

For what it's worth. :)

Hi Kito, I like the concept. Can you please help me understand it more
clearly? When you say "Grails-style plugins", what do you mean exactly?
Can you point to an example?
Thanks,
Ed

Me too.
Can you please help me understand it more clearly? When you say
"Grails-style plugins", what do you mean exactly?
There’s an excellent Grails series on IBM Developerworks. Here’s
Understanding plug-ins <
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-grails07219/>;. This is also
a good reference: <http://www.grails.org/The+Plug-in+Developers+Guide>;.

Can you point to an example?
