Liferay Faces Generator

The Liferay Faces Generator is a code generator designed to generate Java Server™ Faces (JSF) custom components and taglib.xml files. The aim of the generator is to reduce the errors and duplicated work associated with writing JSF custom components. The generator takes as input a single taglib.xml-like file and outputs custom components and a taglib.xml file.
