On the JCP page for JSR 252 (JSF 1.2)<http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=252>
there is a first lineup of the JSF 2.0
agenda:
----- copied -----
Sun is committed to filing a separate JSR for JavaServer Faces 2.0 that will
focus primarily on tools support, and secondarily on new features. The
following features will specifically not be addressed in this JSR, but may be
addressed in the JSR for JavaServer Faces 2.0:
* improved tools support
* additional components in the standard component library (for example,
the Form File Upload component)
* JSR227 aware JSF components
* client side, inter-component, multi-form validation
----- copied -----
Somewhere I read, that the improved tools support is meant to integrate
Oracle's proposal...

Alexander

Subject: RE: Providing component design-time meta data
I just read the proposal and think now it would
be interessting, to become a (common) community-based
standard on that.
Has anyone read the proposal too?
BTW. I guess by SUN there is a proposal,
that addresses this issue for Studio Creator too.
But I am not sure...
I thing it's important for authors of JSF componets
to see their components supported by *any* (or nearly all).
I remember to some questions on MyFaces user list,
"howto use MyFaces' components with Sun Creator"
So ok, if anybody is *supporting* this feature,
that's fine.
But then, there comes the next, "howto integrate
the MyFaces' extentions with IBM's JSF"?
etc.
A common standard on that would be a great deal.
Also the proposal says, that's the most of *Metadata*
for JSF components is included in TLDs for JSP Taglib,
but perhaps, on a long term, there are other usages
as JSP for JSF components. (see [1])
Sure, that's all disscussable, but why not
talking about that? Perhaps the existing
proposals could be merged, to become
one standard, based on a disscussion
started by a growing community like
our ;-)
Just my 2 cents.
