Making Other Components Work in NetBean VisualWeb Pages
Friday Jul 20, 2007
A reader asks:
Im using Netbeans 5.5 for a JSF web application that is about to kick off soon… We’re using Apache Myfaces Trinidad, and want to add these components to the Netbeans palette to we can drag and drop the components as we need them. I’m not sure how this is done in a Netbeans Visual Web Application, and reading over you blog we might need a complib for this?
I've tried doing some of this in the past. (For example, see this link.) You are correct that you need to create a component library and package it up as a complib file. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as it should be and requires a major commitment if you are doing it yourself. The last time I worked in this area was with visualweb jMaki components. Project jMaki contains a rich set of components many developed from other independent projects such as Yahoo, Dojo, and Scriptaculous. Sun also has a team of engineers working on Project Woodstock. The Woodstock components are the built-in components that are part of NetBeans visualweb pages.
BTW, the most current version of NetBeans is NetBean 6 M10.
