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

[Ahmed ELJABIRI]

Hi,

Thank you Lincoln & Richard for your answers and for your help.

I'm actually creating a custom WidgetBuilder based on Primefaces components
as with RicheFaces one.

Once finish the module, I will integrate the jar in the metawidget-all-2.4, and
then I'll edit the file metawidget-entity.xml, and also the two classes
FacesScaffold and

EntityWidgetBuilder to adapt them to the changes.

But an other question concerning forge sources, should i use those of
forge-1.1.3.Final (https://github.com/forge/core/tree/1.1.3.Final) or those

of 1.1.2.Final that we use actually ?

Thank you so much in advence.
