Description rdelaplante 2007-01-29 14:57:11 UTC 
I've created a new custom converter that implements
javax.faces.convert.Converter.  In faces-config.xml  I've added:

<converter>
     <description>
       My description
     </description>
     <converter-id>MyConverter</converter-id>
     <converter-class>
       com.mydomain.web.MyConverter
     </converter-class>
 </converter>


When look at the converter property for any object, MyConverter is not listed as
a converter I can choose.  I've tried restarting the IDE, and closing/reopening
the project. 

On the nbusers mailing list, Gregory Murphy says:

Currently, the property editor only picks up converter definitions that are part
of libraries in the project's classpath. So you could, if you wanted, define
your converters as part of a separate project, and make your web project depend
on it. That should cause the converter to appear in the drop-down for the
property editor.
