also can some body please, put an article on wiki telling us (newly joined developers) where to get latest sources which we should work on? (I am confused which trunk is latest sources)

Michael Lipp commented on TOMAHAWK-464:
---------------------------------------
I strongly support eliminating ExtensionsFilter. As Michael Binette has pointed out, there is a solution for adding style sheets. There is also a solution for handling file upload in the portlet bridge (as I have shown in MYFACES-556). Delivering resources from the MyFaces/Tomahawk jars can also simply be implemented by intercepting "special" URLs in the Servlet (or by a phase listener if you want), so this doesn't require a filter neither. (And honestly: isn't scanning and patching the generated HTML a very clumpsy approach?)
I like using MyFaces, especially I like the additional features of Tomahawk. But I think it is an error of the MyFaces team to neglect portlet support as they do. I do believe that portal based applications will become more and more important (well, I should, currently working on them ;-)).
I don't know what other issues ExtensionsFilter is trying to address, but I'd be happy to help with solving them, at least conceptually.
I'm afraid conceptional help is all I will be able to offer, because another flaw of the MyFaces project is maintaining the source code in the way it does. I spent three days' evenings trying to configure a source code tree that matches the 1.1.3 binary distribution for debugging a problem. The SVN tree is a total mess. E.g. what version of "shared" is associated with 1.1.3? The build system seems to have changed since 1.1.3. The 1.1.3-taged versions of core and tomahawk reference some file in maven ("I hate maven" (TM)) that does not exists. I'd really like to contribute patches but I can't reliably establish the reference.
I'll now endeavour to move (at least) the adding of _javascript_ to the portlet bridge. If anybody is interested: I'm mainting my own version of such a bridge with a lot of bug fixes at http://wfmopen.cvs.sourceforge.net/wfmopen/wfmopen/src/de/danet/an/util/jsf/MyFacesAdaptedPortlet.java?view=markup. I'm positive that I'll have the _javascript_ merging in there at the end of the week.
