Well, I will try to experiment a bit with both plugins/generators and
components and see where it leads me. Ill will get back to this thread..

Conversely, generated code is easy to modify.
The assumption with components or 'reuse' in general is that you have
code you can drop in and have it 'just work'. Once you go beyond
the simplest cases this gets difficult. Once you're including user
interface code it's damned near impossible without some hideous thing
with 29384739 options.
plugins + generators aren't meant for JSF style 'drop in' components,
and neither are rails' components. Given that component is such a
loaded term in this industry, could you describe what's the
requirement you have that you're trying to solve? Perhaps there's a
simpler option available?
