At first we need to create a project for the component itself. In the library directory Sandbox you just created, launch the following command (all in one line):
mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.richfaces.cdk -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-jsf-component -DarchetypeVersion=3.3.1.GA -DartifactId=inputDate
As is easy to see a new directory with the name inputDate will be created. It does not have any components in it yet, but it has this predefined structure:
Here are the main directories with descriptions:
Table 4.1. The project structure
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
| src/main/config | Contains the metadata for the components |
| src/main/java | Contains Java code (both pre-generated and created by you) |
| src/main/resources | Used to store resource files, such as pictures, JavaScript and CSS files |
| src/main/templates | Used to contain the JSP-like templates that define the component layout |
It is necessary to extend a predefined structure with the following directories:
Table 4.2. The project structure
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
| src/main/config/resources | Contains the resource-config.xml file for the resources registration |
| src/main/java/org/mycompany/renderkit | Contains Renderer Base class |
| src/main/resources/org/mycompany/renderkit/html/css | Used to store CSS files |
| src/main/resources/org/mycompany/renderkit/html/images | Used to store images |
| src/main/templates/org/mycompany | Used to contain the JSP-like template |
Now you should add maven-compiler-plugin to the plugins section in the inputDate/pom.xml file:
...
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<inherited>true</inherited>
<configuration>
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
...
Finally your inputDate/pom.xml should look like this one:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project>
<parent>
<artifactId>sandbox</artifactId>
<groupId>org.mycompany</groupId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
