hello, 'sev-en' is just the intermediate (code-)name -> let's find a final name.
there will be some modules within commons-[new name] (which means several jar files). e.g.: required to use sev-en: commons-[new name]-core (currently one for jsf 1.1 and one for jsf 1.2) optional: commons-[new name]-validation (annotations + validation strategies,... and also the validation strategy to support jpa validation) commons-[new name]-crossvalidation (annotations + validation strategies, ...) commons-[new name]-jsr303 (validation strategies to support jsr 303, ...) are there volunteers to join the development? regards, gerhard -- http://www.irian.at Your JSF powerhouse - JSF Consulting, Development and Courses in English and German Professional Support for Apache MyFaces
