Hi! The Apache MyFaces2 core project is an ALv2 licensed open source implementation of the JSF2 specification (JSR-314).
The older MyFaces jars implemented older JSF specs. MyFaces also contains a few sub-projects which are loosely related to JSF: * Trinidad is a component library for JSF. It can be used on any JSF container you like, e.g. on Mojarra (Suns JSF implementation) * Tobago is also a component library * there are also a few 'extensions' projects like Orchestra, EXTVAL, EXTSCRIPT and CODI which provide utility functionality for JSF applications. If you need a JSF container (e.g. for use in a WAR file in your tomcat or jetty servlet engine), then you need myfaces-api.jar[1] and myfaces-impl.jar [2] LieGrue, strub [1] http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/myfaces/core/myfaces-api/2.0.4/ [2] http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/myfaces/core/myfaces-impl/2.0.4/ --- On Tue, 3/29/11, java4dev <java4...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: java4dev <java4...@gmail.com> > Subject: Clarification please, which project is myfaces? > To: users@myfaces.apache.org > Date: Tuesday, March 29, 2011, 2:13 PM > Hello > > I am new into web development.
