Hola Bruno, great stuff, sorry that I was not able to help you out so far but expect the first xmls from my side tonight :-)
Btw. which codegen did you use? The one from myfaces or the one from Trinidad? Just out of interest, because I have similar needs for my dojo stuff, to finally get most of the form components in (most of the form components are very similar so a codegen would be a great idea).
