I would not jump to just saying "that's totally wrong ..." when there is truth to the observation. I cannot speak for Tobago, but there are areas of Trinidad that have not significantly changed in years. This may give the impression that there is not much ongoing development. What you find with Trinidad is that the server side framework is very well supported, as well as the components classes, but the Renderers, skins and JavaScript of Trinidad are very much neglected.
This is probably a result of many that extend Trinidad but do not necessarily contribute those extensions back. There is a Trinidad Sandbox, but unlike Tomahawk, there is no activity in it for the most part. I am not sure why this is and what we can do to motivate our users to provide new components and enhancements to existing components. So as a result, you will probably find that Trinidad is very solid, the server side keeps up to date with other libraries and with some new JSF technologies and there is a great community of support at the framework level. Just what is lacking is active support of the component offerings and the look and feel of Trinidad. As Apache relies on its users quite a bit, new patches, and new components are welcome, especially for the sandbox as it is a great testing ground for new ideas without having to perform all the architectural discussions up front. Then components can be brought into the core as they gain popularity and their architecture can be standardized if not already. -Andrew On Thu, Jun 4, 2009 at 9:00 AM, Matthias Wessendorf <mat...@apache.org> wrote: > On Thu, Jun 4, 2009 at 2:21 AM, Christian Groove > <groo...@groovesytems.de> wrote: >> Salut >>> >>> Hi All, >>> >>> We are developing a web application with myfaces. >>> >> >> That's fine, JSF is the cool think.
