[wtp-jsf-dev] Re: JSF Build related checkins..

[Raghu Srinivasan <raghunathan.srinivasan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Glad I asked the question before checking in!

Bottom Line: There is no urgency for me to check in any of these files 
before WTP ships. I have been able to do the build on my local system 
and all I need is a location to  upload it so that others can try the 
component and give feedback

See below for my response to your questions.

Raghu>>The folder, releng.wtpbuilder/components/jsf exists. I have to 
add the following files:
build.properties
customTargets.xml
dependency.xml

I have to create the following folder: 
releng.wtpbuilder/distribution/jsf.build and add a file: build.xml
Please let me know if these can disrupt the WTP build.

Raghu>> NO, there is no requirement for  JSF build to be part of the WTP 
build.
