# Seam CDK Helper

Author: Rafael Benevides

Maven Plugin to generate Validators and Converters for Seam 2.3 - Workaround for Richfaces 4 CDK

## Why this Maven Plugin was created?

The converters and validators wasn’t available as related at https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-4955

There is a related issue with Richfaces 4 the prevents this generation https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12271

This plugin generates the conveters by looking for classes annotated with @FacesConvertes and the looks for its configs to generate its tag on s.taglib.xml

For validators the source of the information is the correspondent xml files
