Description

An application builder for MyFaces should allow to bootstrap MyFaces applications easily.

The core should be very pluggable to allow add-ons for different frameworks.
We should use CDI (e.g. OWB) as dependency injection framework (so it's possible to use e.g. the nice event system).

It should be possible to generate:

#1 The project (minimal version of

• Maven config

#2 Config

• JSF (MyFaces-Core and Mojarra)
• MyFaces component libs
• CDI

#3 (Simple) Use-Case

• JSF
• 1 component lib
• CDI (OWB)
• MyFaces Extensions (ExtVal (bean-validation module), CODI)

The generated application should >not< depend on the application builder.
For the beginning users of the application builder should be able to use very simple commands to generate the required (minimal) config and very simple applications based on the mentioned frameworks.
