I think it makes sense to work on both at the same time. I've already worked on at least one JSF 1.2 feature where it wasn't readily apparent that it could be added to JSF 1.1 until later. So, some things can be worked out on the branch before we decide that they are OK to merge with the trunk. We have several developers who want to start on JSF 1.2 features. We just need a place to check in code so we can work together. I can set up a temporary repository at JBoss for that if we have to, but it seems that it would be simpler to just create a branch for MyFaces. > Are the Tomcat6 jars intended for compile purposes only at this point? JSF 1.2 relies on APIs found in JSP 2.1. So you will also need these APIs at run time but they will be provided by a Servlet 1.5/JSP 2.1 container such as Tomcat 6. > > Sean > > On 4/18/06, Manfred Geiler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > As you know, Stan is currently working hard on the next generation > MyFaces > > Stuff aka JSF 1.2. > > I would like to give you some infos about an offline conversation we had > a > > few hours ago. > > * We decided to create a branch of the current myfaces core trunk - > let's > > call it "jsf12" or "jsr-252" > > * All important infos will be tracked at > > http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/JSR-252 .
