Nice to have Command Navigation Component

First, I would like to salute the Primefaces team for delivering the best opensource JSF components. Your efforts are really commendable.
On the other hand, I just note that there is one significant component that is missing from your arsenal, and that is a command navigation component. This component is just simple. It behaves like a button or link that lets you navigate to other pages and at the same time it looks like a tab. In Oracle ADF Faces it is called "commandNavigationItem".
Below are some sites that uses sort of tab as the navigation.

Yes optimus.prime. But to emphasize, just like the other primefaces components, this should support skinning too.
Thanks,

WOW! I'm surprised on the speed of delivery:) Really amazing! Hope to be able to test it soon.
I see... same as I was expecting... the component is very similar to a menu but just needs to have a selected or activeIndex property.
Thank you Optimus!

Hi,
I didn't understand. Why not TabView? I use it in PF Extensions as navigation
http://fractalsoft.net/primeext-showcas ... gement.jsf (each tab = separate JSF page). This is almost as in Trinidad's example
http://example.irian.at/trinidad-demo/f ... nItem.jspx. And if you like the look & feel from your example
http://www.vendhq.com/, you can use Menubar
http://www.primefaces.org/showcase-labs/ui/menubar.jsf. By the way, I looked for a NavBar like in Twitter Bootstrap
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/com ... tml#navbar, but in the fact it's a PrimeFaces Menubar with a little bit styling.

Oh, I could remember. TabView in the PF Extensions was a not a PrimeFaces component. It was a built-in feature called "tabbed layout" (jQuery tabs). It was not possible in PrimeFaces to have page pro tab. This was the reason why I added this to pe:layout as a built-in feature. So, p:tabMenu seems to be an useful component now.

I just wonder why this hasn't come to life yet. Any autobot malfunction?
