A Maven plugin that enables hot reload for JSF (JavaServer Faces) projects by monitoring file changes and automatically refreshing the browser via Server-Sent Events. It's interesting because it addresses a specific pain point in traditional Java web development workflows, bringing modern live-reload capabilities to the JSF ecosystem with support for both legacy javax and modern Jakarta namespaces.
