Nice to have the WIKI on promoting Sandbox to Tomahawk. Is there a
WIKI on how best to create a new sandbox component from scratch and
what steps should be taken? (not just migrating it from jsf-comp for
example). I looked at the Contributing_Patches, and looked at the
focus JIRA issue, but not all the files were there for the JIRA (like
the HTML files were not there).
http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Contributing_Patches is currently the
best source.
However, both of these pages are new, and they need improving.
Hopefully the next person to use it as a guide for submitting a new
component will also go in and update the page as we find missing
items.
Once I get time (maybe after June), I may try to help out by writing
some of the new components people have been asking for and adding them
to the sandbox (or jsf-comp if that is the way to go).
No, I think the sandbox is the way to go, provided there are no
licensing issues.
The pros for jsf-comp is that anyone can get commit access, which
makes it an easy place to develop a first draft of a component and
quickly make changes. As you noted in a personal email to me on a
different topic, the downside of jsf-comp is that it's a pain to deal
with releasing and other maintenance issues.
Sandbox reverses the pros and cons.
