Hmm I don't know. I think we cannot really use MyFaces Commons for 2 reasons:
1. When I hear Commons I can only think of Jakarta; 2. Following some old discussion, we don't know if extra components libaries are going to stay as MyFaces subprojects forever. For instance, when RCF get out of incubation, it might be strange to have a subsubproject of MyFaces since RCF is a subproject of Trinidad. If we can get a nice modular infrastructure including only renderkit independent at first, but then adding some optional module for PPR, skinning and such, then we could move to a TLP and have Tomahawk, Tobago, Trinidad and RCF be simple subprojects all depending only on that new common library. Hopefully, it would also ensure perfect interoperability between all of them at the same time. ~ Simon On 10/30/07, Mario Ivankovits <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi! > > I am not sure why we can't call it simply "MyFaces Commons"?
