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!

-Trinidad 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! :) > Is it stable enough for a product release sometime early next year (Feb, > Mar) ? 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). > > When is the first release of Trinidad expected ? 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: http://incubator.apache.org/adffaces/ Demos (and commercial support) are offered by the Irian company: http://www.irian.at/adfFaces.jsf HTH, Matthias > > thanx > -jm > > -- Matthias Wessendorf http://tinyurl.com/fmywh further stuff: blog: http://jroller.com/page/mwessendorf mail: mwessendorf-at-gmail-dot-com
