This is an initial version of the document that shows the simplest way how to start up the new component development project from scratch having just Maven installed

Any suggestions are welcome?

Wesley Hales has written a blog about developing JSF components using Ajax4jsf CDK:

Here's feedback from starting to implement the Seam component library on the CDK

• 
  
• How do I use .component.Abstract - if I create this class then run mvn cdk:create -D, it seems to ignore it?
  
• What mvn cdk: targets are available?
  
• Something like mvn cdk:delete -Dname= to clear out all the generated files for a component would be good
  
• Don't know if this is supposed to be JDK 1.4 compliant, but if not then using generics in RendererBase would be good
  
• Documentation for component config stuff

Also, I think it would benefit the documentation to have a walk through of doing common tasks such as creating the component template, adding attributes to a component, implementing a custom renderer

And documentation of the components you can use in a template

Pete, according to your post you are on your way to move some seam components toward RichFaces. Actually, we have started this task already also. So, it might be a good idea to synchronize our efforts.

The goal of http://labs.jboss.com/wiki/UsingCDKStartUp is covering the configuration CDK issues. The Dev. Guide should be in the separate document. We are working on it right now. Probably, it is a good idea to put the early version to SVN ASAP.

I'll create a new topic to discuss the port on this forum.

I created a page for tips and hints on using the CDK
