Bob Schellink commented on CLK-658:
-----------------------------------
Reality is that we cannot host everyone's favorite component. We need to draw
the line somewhere. The whole idea behind Click was to build a Component
oriented framework. That means third-party developers should write components.
Nothing about that says *all* components must be written and hosted here. If
you look at other component frameworks a big part of their attractiveness is
around third-party components. There are already multiple corporates shipping
third-party JSF components. Wicket is also expanding in this area. Here are
some good examples:
http://code.google.com/p/wiquery/
http://code.google.com/p/jolira-tools/
> The problem with that is that third party projects tend to get out of sync
> and poor docs - and than the user has the "component nightmare" a la Tapestry
> or JSF :).
The component nightmare arises because developers loose interest in maintaining
them. If I have to maintain all these components I'd loose interest too.
> WYSIWYM (not WYSIWYG) Editor in click-extras or at least click-examples.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-658
> Project: Click
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: examples, extras
> Reporter: George Stan
>
> Add a WYSIWYM (not WYSIWYG) editor control to Click Extras (or at least
> Click-examples):
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYM
> For many usage scenarios, it holds much better results than a WYSIWYG (this
> was my experience too), so in many cases when
> a TextArea is used, a Click WYSIWYM Editor would have much better results.
> http://www.wymeditor.org/ would be one possible solution (and it has MIT
> license too).
