Build error importing MyFaces 1.0.7

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to use the MyFaces components in SJSC, but when I import myfaces-components.jar into JSCS I get the following build-error:
compile-beaninfo:
Compiling 35 source files to C:\Documents and Settings\Iwan\.Creator\1_0\components\jars\beaninfo-classes
C:\Documents and Settings\Iwan\.Creator\1_0\components\jars\beaninfo-src\net\sourceforge\myfaces\component\html\ext\HtmlCommandButtonBeanInfo.java:99: exception java.beans.IntrospectionException is never thrown in body of corresponding try statement
        } catch (IntrospectionException e) {
          ^
1 error
startup\bin\create-dt-jar.xml [71] Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.
BUILD FAILED (total time: 50 seconds)I have no clue as to what is going on, and since there seem to be no official announcement of SUN to add more sophisticated components to Creator, I guess we're stuck with the ones we get.

I found a way to import that library so you can use the MyFaces components by dragging and dropping. It is a little bit of a hack, but it works.
Steps to add library:
1. You need to try to import the component jar first. This importing will create the .Creator\1_0\components\jars directory in the user home (i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USERNAME>\.Creator\1_0\components\jars).
2. Download and install WildEdit.
3. Run WildEdit and point it at .Creator\1_0\components\jars\beaninfo-src directory. (i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USERNAME>\.Creator\1_0\components\jars\beaninfo-src)
4. In the replace textbox of WildEdit type "IntrospectionException " (no quotes but 1 space at the end or could do a regular expression with whitespace at the end)
5. In the Replace With textbox of WildEdit type "Exception " (no quotes but 1 space at the end).
6. In Files matching, type *.java.
7. In Character Encoding, UTF-8.
8. Check Search Subfolders.
9. Try importing the jar again.
10. During import run the Replace All utility of WildEdit against the directory continuously (i.e. click the green arrow a bunch of times) until you see repeatedly in the Log tab at bottom of WildEdit:
Number of files searched: 35
Number of files modified: 0
Total changes made: 0
These steps added the components in my Creator application, but only the components seem to have been added. The validators will have to be added by hand, but that is not too hard via the page source.
