You need more than just the facelet-taglib support. There's integral stuff that has to go into the code before it's usable. This message indicates that you are not returning a valid component and/or renderer type from the component body tag. The values returned from the getRendererType() and getComponentType() methods are used as lookups against the faces-config.xml and taglib.xml files in the component jar file. Bruno's article talks about both of the files and what needs to go into them, but it looks like you're still missing some pieces... Personally I didn't use archetype for our JSF/Facelets components. They are really simple to hand-code, and (outside of standard method overrides) there's not a whole lot of boilerplate code that I can see archetype saving you much time on. And I still can't get away from the belief that w/o hand coding things like this you'll never make heads or tails out of code generated by a tool on your behalf...
