Hi Aleksei,
Wake up, stop dreaming and open your eyes.
1. Everything from Oracle is priced like "5k per CPU"; they have pulled
our legs in last 10 months.
Oracle is expensive, yes but they have their market and make no secret
about it. There are many szenarios, where I would rather go with Oracle
than anything else.
Besides that they have done a lot recently, without them we still would
have no full J2EE IDE which is free to use.
2. Oracle will never extend MyFaces component palette; they just test
their components with MyFaces runtime.
3. ADF Faces are still not skinable with CSS.
4. Datamodel behind ADF-Faces components is ugly and complicated; try to
use some tree-like-components and you will see.
We do not know yet what the future will bring, if Oracle will donate
some components everyone will be happy, if not, the world will not go
under. It is good to have another set of eyes to check the code, and if
Oracle wont donate anything, even having them check the code against ADF
Faces is important enough to be happy to have them on board.
So cool down a little bit :-), having Oracle on board is a benefit for
all of us.
