Hi all, About JSF 2.0 adoption, I know there's a big hype in the JSF community about it. However, unlike1.1 and akin to 1.2, 2.0 is part of JEE and has some dependencies on some other specifications from it. Therefore, it's unlikely that simply dropping the jsf 2.0 jars will be enough to use 2.0,

I would tend to agree with this, but the real issue is striking a balance between flexibility and simplicity. I know the Richclient uses the same skinning mechanism as Trinidad (it USES Trinidad Skinning) and the look and feels out of that renderkit are entirely different. With a less

Agree with Werner's assessment on JSF2.0 adoption. The 1.2 adoption curve shouldn't be a benchmark for 2.0 adoption. I think 2.0, when it goes final, is going to have significant uptake. Apple might already be using the Mojarra snapshot for one of its rebate processes:

I am very much surprised after reading your mail. I don't have the feeling that Trinidad is stagnating, at least we use it more and more ourselves. And as I have no idea about the rich client I cannot comment on that, but Trinidad development should not depend on such a project, on the contrary.

Hi Andrew, Bruno, the mail was pretty long, and raised some interesting points, but I honestly don't think adding another component library to MyFaces will help. What we should really do is consolidation - if we can work into this direction, we will have more success as a group.

Forgot to mention that conversation scope is getting standardized by JSR-299, Web Beans so most of Trinidad's features are getting standardized and personally it drains a part of my motivation to improve the existing code for those modules knowing it might have to be re-refactored so soon. ~
