Is there a ICEfaces Maven archetype for NetBeans or Eclipse?

Question

The NetBeans IDE still seems to offer Maven Archetypes only for Apache MyFaces or the "deprecated" WoodStock JSF framework. For future development or migration of existing Woodstock projects, Sun is officially endorsing ICEfaces as the replacement technology for Woodstock.

I have not yet found a Maven Archetype which would set up a new Maven project with the ICEFaces JSF framework (for NetBeans or Eclipse). Have you found one or information about 'work in progress'?

Answer 1

Not a real archetype yet,but maybe an example how to do it in context to AppFuse:

Answer 2

Someone's created an ICEFaces/Seam archetype, it's not available on any standard repositories to my knowledge though. The blog provides details of how to connect to their repository, which is backed by googlecode.com.

Is this what you're after or are you looking for a standalone ICEfaces archetype?

If you can provide a bit more detail for what you're interested in I might be able to help.

I don't know any arhetype for icefaces on Maven but you can get running sample from this site. And also you can easily integrate Icefaces into Seam Framework. I think this is the best solution.

Answer 4

This is a Maven archetype to easily get a working IceFaces project mainly under Netbeans:
