[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Reopened: (RF-5616) Create application-specific JavaScript and CSS assembly files.

Create application-specific JavaScript and CSS assembly files. -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-5616 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-5616 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Reporter: Alexander Smirnov Assignee: Tsikhon Kuprevich Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.3.1 Original Estimate: 3 days Remaining Estimate: 3 days Although loading of the just few CSS and JavaScript files with LOAD_xxx_STRATEGY=ALL significant reduces a number of network requests, these files are too huge ( up to 500kb ). Because most of the real world applications uses just a subset of the entire RichFaces components library it makes sense to create application-wide assembly, with the only necessary scripts and styles. Ideas: 1) It should be Maven plugin ( ant task is optional ), what parses all web application pages and extracts list of the RichFaces components references. 2) Because all RichFaces components keeps information about referenced resources in the renderer, that tool is able to extract that information and assembly application-specific files. Initial limitations: 1) Parce XML pages only. Parsing of the JSP format is more difficult, thus it could be postponed for the next releases. 2) This is compilation-time utility only.
