In the previous blog entry we touched upon packaging a custom converter. Now we'll describe what you need to do to use it.
Add the maven dependency to your project.
<dependency>
<groupId>myGroupId</groupId>
<artifactId>myPackagedCustomConverter</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
</dependency>
And use it.

<h2>Custom Converter - f:converter tag</h2>

Below you will see a string that was generated using a custom converter
named 'customConverterId'. See the sources for the source for this
converter.

<h:outputText value="#{customConverterBean.custom}">
<f:converter converterId="customConverterId"/>
