Are there any tools that would help in creating a metadata file based on
a TLD and faces-config?

I am sure you used something to create RI and Tomahawk metadata, didn't you? :)

Can you share?

Hi Yury,

There's not much to share. All I used was the SSE XML Editor which worked
fine for me.

It may be wise to start off by copying one of our metadata files as a
starting point just to get the nsURIs correct.

I hoped you had automated it somehow. I had 3 taglibs to create metadata for,
and didn't want to do all the work manually in the editor, so I wrote a simple
Java class that creates metadata skeleton based on a tld file -- all tags and
attribute are listed, and standard basic attributes (such as id, value, binding,
rendered etc) are filled in.

I'd be happy to contribute or share if anybody's interested.

Yury,

We have the same need with our tlds and we'd be happy if you could share
that tool/class.

Cheers

What would be the best way to contribute something like this, a helper
dev utility? My initial thought was a wiki, but this project's wiki
says it's for "release planning".

Any suggestions?

Can you attach it to a bug? That's usually the best way to share code
contributions with the community. We may be able to incorporate either as
an SDK tool add-on or right into the code base of JSF tools project if it
helps tag developers.

One other possibility that someone could look into is using the EMF
generator to create a default editor that understands metadata EMF models.
The reason we haven't proceeded further on this (other than resource
constraints) is that there is a problem to be solved in supporting dynamic
models loaded for different user-defined metadata schemas (external
genmodels). In theory though, it should be possible.

Hi Yury,

The right way to contribute is to launch a bug,
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Java%20S erver%20Faces

and attach your code. We will use the bug to track feedback and progress
on the contribution.

Thanks Yury, this looks great! I can see how we could plop a Wizard on
top of this in the future.

Well, this is really a "do once" kind of operation, so I don't
see a lot of benefit in creating extra artifacts around it, especially
given the tight resources on the project.

Besides, there's still a lot of manual work to do after the skeleton
is generated.
