Generating methods on CDK

AbstractInput.java

// Abstract component inside CDK. Will serve as base to generate final UIComponent.
@JsfComponent(...)
public abstract class AbstractInput extends UIInput implements CoreProps, UIComponentUtil {
    ...
}

hasFacet.ftl

// Implementation for the #hasFacet() method
return getFacet(facetName) != null;

UIComponentUtil.java

// Interface that provide the signature of the method to add to CDK Abstract components
public interface UIComponentUtil {
    @GeneratedMethod("hasFacet.ftl")
    boolean hasFacet(String facetName);
}

UIInput.java

// Generated UIComponent by the CDK from the Abstract one, including the generated method from the UIComponentUtil interface.
@Generated({"RichFaces CDK", "4.3.0-SNAPSHOT"})
public class UIInput extends AbstractInput implements CoreProps, UIComponentUtil {
    ...

    public boolean hasFacet(String facetName) {
        return getFacet(facetName) != null;
    }

    ...
}

Is there a RFSBOX jira for this?

Nope, the idea is brand new from a talk between Lukas and myself this afternoon. I can create it tomorrow with this gist as reference is you want.

JIRA issue created : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12339

Great Paul - thanks for your terrific ideas moving the project forward!
