Hi thanks for the feedback! Yes, I was intending to support the other jsf artifacts such as converters and validators in the future. In the contribution, I did create the components for Flex's validators and converters. But since they belong in a swf file, they technically are actual jsf components [in order to keep to the design]. Yet since all components that take input and updates the model extend from UIInput, I do not think there will be too many issues in supporting the regular jsf converters and validators. Of course when the contribution does get accepted, I do plan on investing my free time in creating support for standard converters and validators as well as other areas that I wish to improve upon.
I think that's a good idea, since in the future I was hoping to check out javafx and other technology as well. Thanks!!!
