The Taglibs project has been dead for years. I'm sure it's not going
to improve; taglibs are a pain to implement (especially if support is
targeting older JSP specs), JSTL replaced many and at the same time
JSP stopped being the obvious choice for web applications. It's
frustrating to both users and committers to have the project sitting
with doors apparently open, so I'd like to suggest a closing up of
shop.
I absolutely agree. I still find the input tag library useful, and in
fact I've made improvements to it on my local copy that I use in
production sites but haven't committed yet. I'm just going to go ahead
and commit what I've done, make some more improvements that I've wanted
to do for a long time and commit those too - with a view to releasing a 1.2.
I'm not quite sure what has caused my personal apathy towards the
project... there are some really useful pieces here! Although I
personally only use the input taglib (other than standard, of course).
I agree with all of what you've said about the frustration of open doors
with no one home. I guess the question is, is anyone using these
taglibs? If we cut out the deprecated / replaced by standard taglibs are
we left with something that is actually useful for people? If it is then
I hope we (myself included) find that motivation to at least present a
this-is-still-workable/valid impression to taglibs?
cheers,
Karl
