    <title>Creating project for component</title>
    <para>
       At first we need to create a project for the component itself. In the library directory 
        <property>Sandbox</property> you just created, launch the following command (all in one line):
    </para>
    <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.richfaces.cdk -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-jsf-component -DarchetypeVersion=3.3.0.GA -DartifactId=inputDate]]>
    </programlisting>
    <para>
        As is easy to see a new directory with the name <property>inputDate</property> will be created. 
        It does not have any components in it yet, but it has this predefined structure:
    </para>
    <figure>
        <title>The project structure</title>
        <mediaobject> 
            <imageobject>
                <imagedata fileref="images/tree.png"/>
            </imageobject>
        </mediaobject>
    </figure>
    <para>
        Here are the main directories with descriptions:
    </para>
    <table>
        <title>The project structure</title>
        <tgroup cols="2">
            <thead>
                <row>

                </row>
            </tbody>
        </tgroup>
    </table>
    <para>
	It is necessary to extend a predefined structure with the following directories:
    </para>
     <table>
        <title>The project structure</title>
        <tgroup cols="2">
            <thead>
                <row>
                    <entry>Directory</entry>

                        src/main/config/resources
                    </entry>
                    <entry>
                        Contains the <property>resource-config.xml</property> file for the resources registration
                    </entry>
                </row>
                <row>
                    <entry>
                        src/main/java/org/mycompany/renderkit
                    </entry>
                    <entry>
                        Contains Renderer Base class
                    </entry>
                </row>
                <row>
                    <entry>
                        src/main/resources/org/mycompany/renderkit/html/css

                    <entry>
                        Used to store CSS files
                    </entry>
                </row>
		<row>
                    <entry>
                        src/main/resources/org/mycompany/renderkit/html/images
                    </entry>
                    <entry>
                        Used to store images
                    </entry>
                </row>
                <row>
                    <entry>
                        src/main/templates/org/mycompany
                    </entry>
                    <entry>
                        Used to contain the JSP-like template
                    </entry>
                </row>
            </tbody>
        </tgroup>
    </table>
    
    <para>        Now you should add <property>maven-compiler-plugin</property> 
        to the <property>plugins</property> section in the <property>inputDate/pom.xml</property> file:    </para>
    <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[...
<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <inherited>true</inherited>
    <configuration>
        <source>1.5</source>
        <target>1.5</target>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
...]]>
    </programlisting>
    <para>        Finally your <property>inputDate/pom.xml</property> should look like this one:    </para>
