Composite components in an external JAR are not recognized in Netbeans

Question

I have packaged a number of composite components in a JAR. However, when using them in another project (using Maven), Netbeans editor puts red error lines under lines which

Answer 1

I have absolutely the same problem. In my case it depends on the /src/main/java folder. If it's exist (only in the project and not even in the jar) the project which includes this library shows the "No library found for namespace... " When i remove the "java" folder it works. But then my backing bean class is missed in the jar...

Tried with Netbeans 7.2 and 7.3, maven 2

Solution:

1. Generate a second project which contains the Java source files. (called: jsf-lib-java)
2. In jsf-lib project (your composite component project with xhtml) delete the "java" folder and all *.java sources.
3. add in the jsf-lib pom.xml following configuration:

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-dependency-plugin
    
      
        unpack
        generate-resources
        
          unpack
        
        
          
            
              com.mycompany.project
              jsf-lib-java
              1.0-SNAPSHOT
              jar
              true
              src/main/
              **/*.class
            
          
        
      
    
  

That's it. This will generate a "good" jar file with the required *.class files. So it's possible to "trick" Netbeans.

Now i work with this solution. It's a hack but didn't found a better solution.
