Hi,
comments in-line.

Hello. My name is Josué Alcalde and I am new to this list.
I started four months ago to use myfaces in my projects and I would like
to contribute, perhaps with new components.
Anyone is welcomed to contribute in apache projects ;)
I have read the wiki and now, I have a workspace for myfaces in eclipse.
Don't forget that MyFaces projects use Maven2 for building and Myfaces
1.1 must be compiled under J2SE 1.4.
One thing I would like to have in myfaces is a clean way to render
messages in differents divs for each level, to be able to have a box for
every kind of messages.
Now, the only workaround to do this is four t:messages and add a
<Level>Style="display:none;" for the three unwanted messages but it will
render the messages four times.
I would like to make a patch adding four new boolean attributes:
- fatalRendered
- errorRendered
- warnRendered
- infoRendered
It would be easy to do overwriting "renderSingleFacesMessage" and check
the level there.
t:messages has already styleClasses attributes for each level of
importance (from JSF spec).
If you want to render each level messages together, add sorting
attribute for specifying order of rendering messages.
Rendering divs around each level of importance could be implemented as
another layout (t:messages has already support
for rendering as list or table).
I'm against using multiple t:messages tags in one page - hard to read
and it would save/restore the same messages in view.
I have been playing with it and I have some questions:
- Is there a "Code Formatter Profile" for Apache Code coventions?
- There is a code generation. I have been browsing the wiki and the
lists and I haven't found how it works. There are some old messages
which said it didn't work.
Code auto-generation was dropped in 1.1.1 release, i was playing with
making it work again, but
auto-generating won't be re-enabled in its former form.
MyFaces 1.2 uses new apt plugin for autogeneration from trinidad, so it
doesn't make sense
to support old and new forms.
Is it working now? If it works, how can I generate the new attributes?
if it doesn't work, should I edit the tag definition, the tag class and
the component class manually?
Manual editing is only way to altering components in MyFaces 1.1.
Submitting changes for contributers is done through JIRA issues and
providing unified diff patches.
Only PMC and commiters have direct wrtite access to svn repository, so
it's up to them if your patches are accepted.

Zdenek
