The Woodstock components DO generate some sort of metadata, but, if I
recall correctly, that part of the code generation only worked with
Woodstock components, for reasons I never understood. I don't
typically use a visual designer when writing JSF pages, so it wasn't
much of a priority for me. It's something I'd like to look into, but
I don't have the cycles right now to front that, but I can help out
where I can...
