Hi guys,

I've been on this list for a while, to see how things work in here.
But now I have a question of my own and I hope someone can help me
out.

I've been looking into Trinidad lately and wanted to know how to add a
new component (like a real trinidad component), Matthias sent me to a
link
http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Facelets_and_JSF_1%2e1_maven-faces-plugin_Getting_started
where a bit was explained, but now I am stuck.

I wanted to add a simple div component to find out how things work.
I started with adding a CoreDiv.xml to the builder project:
/trinidad-builds/src/main/resources/META-INF/maven-faces-plugin/components/trinidad/core/

It looks like this:

      <mfp:uix2-local-name>div</mfp:uix2-local-name>
    </component-extension>

  </component>
</faces-config>

I disabled the mfp:group, have no clue what it is about, something for
an IDE? Other then that its not looking very strange as far as I could
tell. After kicking of nearly any generate-sources thing of maven for
the projects I saw it was added in a faces master file in the
trinidad-build. But that was the last thing of the div I saw as being
'new'. It doesnt generate any java source files which I would expect
(as the rest is generated). So.. what am I missing where? I have a lot
of more questions i guess, but this one really makes me stuck. I
really want a div to choose once I test it in a web project! ;))

Thanks!
Martijn
