Third-party dependencies in non-maven based projects

[lfryc]

On the team meeting, the question how should be third-party dependencies of the framework managed was raised.

Currently documentation does not cover runtime dependencies:

* Css Parser

* Google Guava

* Simple API for CSS

* Atmosphere (optional)

nor runtime dependencies for servlet containers:

* JMS Impl

* Bean Validation Impl

Question is whether these dependencies should be documented in Developer's Guide [1].

Thanks for following up with this Lukas.

Without specifying those dependencies, the section: Creating a project with JBoss tools section is incorrect.  I feel they should be added, to fully document what is required to start a new RichFaces project.

The alternative is to remove the section altogether, which I don't think is a better solution.

The question is if we should add only mandatory dependencies, or optional too and if it's necessary to add dependencies for servlet containers (as oppose to application servers).

Also I feel there are several possible solutions to obtain these deps:

• provide link to upstream project
• provide link to Nexus repo
• provide only name of the project

[bleathem]

Let's specify all dependencies, indicating which ones are optional, but for which features they are required.  Listing the deps is sufficient IMO, we don't need to link to urls - the urls may change. 

We also have the wiki pages that provide real links, maybe we can add a note recommending to check the wiki for the latest information.

Created a doc issue to cover this one: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RFPL-1857

Can you tell me how to binding a list of Files in the managedBean in this fileUpload component, when I click "clear" button or "Clear All" button ,  the file  should be removed from the list of files in the managedBEan,

          I can't catch the event ot "clear" or "Clear All".

Hi yiyuan,

your topic is completely different from initial discussion. :-)

To satisfy your curiosity, you should be able to use <rich:fileUpload onclear=""> or appropriate <f:ajax event="clear" ... />.
