The reason is over the time, many features and ideas of Tomahawk were included into jsf spec, which at the end looks better, but reduce the need of the specific hacks that Tomahawk provides, even more with jsf 2.2 html5, composite components and, passthrough attributes. There are some components that are still useful.

In practice JSF components that relies on some kind of javascript are not 100% reliable across different JSF component libraries, which makes really hard to build components, usually because javascript libraries conflict between each other and because there is not an standard javascript loader for JSF. regards, Leonardo Uribe > > UI-Component Sets: > - Apache Tobago is healthy and active. > > - Apache Trinidad had three maintenance commits by two different new > contributors this quarter, which was encouraged by having issue > reporters submit fixes for their own issues.
