Looking into Trinidad is wroth, but Trinidad is not the "Tomahawk 2.0".
Tomahawk is the original jsf component from the myfaces community.
That community was growing so far; we got new libs:


Yep, we can't emphasize this enough!  Trinidad is not the next
evolution of Tomahawk, and it is intended to be complimentary, not
exclusionary.  There is a bunch of overlap, and a long-term goal of
all of us in MyFaces should be building a best-of-breed next generation
component set (not, IMO, just picking and choosing among the
components).  But our short-term goal on the Trinidad side is
getting a real versioned release out and getting out of Incubator - before
those happen issues of coming together are all academic!

I'd say that looking closer at Trinidad is a good thing. Since some
MyFaces Core guys worked abit on the Tomahawk lib you can use both.
Trinidad may be a bit more feature rich, like Brian said. Yes, give it
a try! :)

The story behind Trinidad is that it is donated by Oracle. ADF Faces
has been around the JSF community since years. The lib is stable and
already used by several companies/projects (see wiki for some
examples).

We depend a bit on the Apache Software Foundation on that. We voted on
an old (currently unused) plugins release, but I'd like to get a
fresher plugin release, on which we really depend when *building* the
Trinidad stuff.

After the plugins is really out, we start on the *core*, which are the
components.

Some more documentation can be found here:

Demos (and commercial support) are offered by the Irian company:
