Right, but Shale parted from Struts because it was a completely new project, not because of its focus. > > I think that Shale should remain on its own, also because it contains > > products that don't need JSF at all (I am thinking of shale-test). > > > I don't know shale-test, but isn't it to provide mock object for the JSF > api? If it is more, maybe it fits into Commons land? In fact, part of the shale-test seems like "Cactus" (it contains mock objects also for portlets and servlets). Moving to Commons (or Jakarta?) could be a good option. > In MyFaces land the need for a commons project rises up every now and > then - instead, it might be easier to contribute to a MyFaces Shale > subproject. And probably it reduces replication: for example, it seems that Shale provides a buggy Tiles 2 support, while the MyFaces one at least works :-) In this case there is a need for reorganization: - move shale-test to Commons; - choose which Shale pieces will remain under Shale subproject, and which ones will become submodules of MyFaces itself (I am thinking of Clay). > Also the ML of Shale has become quite quiet, wouldn't it be better to > concentrate the spare time of JSF [EMAIL PROTECTED] into one TLP? You convinced me! :-) But I am not a Shale developer, so I cannot do much. Antonio
