> This functionnality will enable easily import a theme into it's own application.
> It's quite related to template handling in JSF 2.2 [1].
> A template / theme will consist of :
>  * 1..n : the necessary xhtml file for the site layout.
>  * 0..n : images.
>  * 0..n : css files or ecss files.
>  * 0..n : js files.
>  * 0..1 : resource-mapping.property
>  * 1 : skin.properties
> Requirements :
>  * easy installation
>    adding a template / theme must be just a matter of drag & drop (so all the resources must be a stand alone directory).
>  * easy modification
>    the developer must be able to customize the template / theme.
>    Implies :
>    ** template/theme resources must be expanded (not zipped or jarred)
>    ** hot reloading all common theme related resource modification must be hot reloaded.
> Proposed organization : 
>  * src/main/webapp/resources/templates/theme1/template.xhtml
>  * src/main/webapp/resources/templates/theme1/img
>  * src/main/webapp/resources/templates/theme1/css
>  * src/main/webapp/resources/templates/theme1/js
>  * src/main/webapp/resources/templates/theme1/theme1.skin.properties
>  * src/main/webapp/resources/templates/theme1/resource-mapping.properties
> TBD :
>  * this JIRA must define common names for template parts (i.e. menu, title, content) in order to be able
>  		to use different themes with the same jsf files.
> Sample usage (jsf file using a template) :
> {code:xml}
> <ui:composition template="#{theme.template}" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"  
>   xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"  
>   xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
>   xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core">
> 	<ui:define name="title">Gallery</ui:define>
> 	<ui:define name="content">
> 	My custom content
> 	</ui:define>
> </ui:composition>
> {code}
