We didn't have the time to really check out Facelets up to now. We
removed the according FAQ entry and will take some time to look closer
at Facelets. From the documentation of Facelets we just saw the
"Tapestry-like views" aspect and this doesn't seem to make sense for Tobago.

Arvid

Mike is entirely correct. There's no reason why any decent
JSF component library shouldn't work with Facelets,
and [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't understand Facelets.
ADF Faces, for example, abstracts away from HTML too;
Facelets makes awesome sense with ADF Faces, just as
it would with Tobago.
The whole "Tapestry-like views" aspect of Facelets is just
one small bit of it; the major value is providing a much, much
better environment for JSF than JSPs are.
Honestly, anyone who uses Facelets after JSPs will
never want to go back. I don't quite get why MyFaces hasn't
embraced Facelets fully.

I think there's some misunderstanding here about facelets. Facelets
isn't tied to any particular view technology (ie, html).
"Facelets are based on HTML-designed JSP source code" is untrue.
Facelets doesn't use tld files or (jsp)Tag classes. Facelets works
directly on the component class.
There shouldn't be any reason why you can't use facelets with tobago,
providing you're writing clean components.
