Tools for creation custom components?

[bitec]

Hello.

I know (never used though) about Richfaces CDK. It helps to generate lots of staff for the component.

Does PF use something of this kind? I don't think, that PF team wrote everything by hands. So, is there any public tools for easing the process of creation custom components?

Thanks. Anton.

NetBeans has features to create custom composite components, we use renderer based components and use a plugin of our own to generate boilerplate stuff like component code, facelet taglib ...

Thanks, Cagatay. Is this plugin is available for public anyhow?

Also, may be some wiki page is written about this?

Thanks again, Optimus!

One more question: I started thread here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7770 ... y-populate, could you take a quick look?

Will the plugin, which you provided, help in this task? I need to add some additional behaviour to selectOneMenu (extend it with my own component), but need to take all tag attributes and the same renderer - everything the same except for one new method in component class. Will the plugin help me to generate all tag/taglib staff due to my java component state?

Anton.
