Creating own scaffold plugins: Unable to locate scaffold/faces/metawidget-qbe.xml

Question

I want to create my own scaffold's provider for jboss forge 1.4.4, for do that I forked the files on github. I add succesfully the plugin with command: forge source-plugins path/to/plugins

I can add the plugins to my project with scaffold setup --scaffoldType mFaces

But when I run the command scaffold from-entity com.model.* I get the error:

ERROR Exception encountered: Unable to locate scaffold/faces/metawidget-qbe.xml on CLASSPATH (type "set VERBOSE true" to enable stack traces)

there is the full output:

***INFO*** Using currently installed scaffold [mfaces]
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Unable to locate scaffold/faces/metawidget-qbe.xml on CLASSPATH
***ERROR*** Exception encountered: (type "set VERBOSE false" to disable stack traces)

I removed the old plugins: scaffold-faces

I find the same question here but it not resolved: Creating own scaffold plugin: metawidget resource loading exception only when run within forge console

Answer 1

Try comparing your implementation to https://github.com/forge/plugin-spring-mvc.

That is another Forge plugin that overrides the default scaffold (uses Spring instead of JSF). In particular for your problem, it has a metawidget-qbe.xml file: https://github.com/forge/plugin-spring-mvc/tree/master/src/main/resources/scaffold/spring
