I wouldn't be the one being able to do an official announcement, but as the official announcement has already been made ;) ...
Yes, Oracle will open-source ADF Faces under the name of Apache Cherokee - if it gets through the incubator, which will of course need some time, and which will depend on community building. So the Cherokee team will rely upon all of you to be successful! The more interest in the project, the more patches, bug reports, development for it, the better! The timeframe will be - website and sourcedrop up and running by the beginning of the next year. We hope to get the project out of the incubator before JavaOne next year, but don't take this as granted in any way. Oracle will open source 104 components of the ADF faces component set - there are still some more not being open sourced, but they might follow if the first donation is as successful as we suspect. In fact, I doubt you'll miss any functionality in JSF world with the combined component sets of Cherokee, Tobago and Tomahawk. regards, Martin On 12/15/05, Alexandre Poitras <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I can't wait for the Maven 2 plugin (it was written on the blog).
