Since there where some discussions about what should be in this new project and what not: Renderkit independent components yes/no? Only static utils, convenient base classes?
I have a suggestion that would solve this (and the naming as well): Let's start a new MLP* called "MyFaces JSF Commons" which is itself an "umbrella" project for two artifacts** called "MyFaces JSF Commons Utils" and "MyFaces JSF Commons Components" For the artifact names I propose: "myfaces-jsfcommons-utils" and "myfaces-jsfcommons-components" The myfaces-jsfcommons-components artifact would have a compile dependency to myfaces-jsfcommons-utils. WDYT? --Manfred * Myfaces Level Project ;-) ** We should not use the Apache Commons terminology and call those artifacts or sub projects "Components" for obvious reasons ;-) On 10/31/07, Matthias Wessendorf < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > True! > > ...and also the name "common" is very common... :-) > And therefore not reserved for Apache Commons ... > > > -M > > On 10/31/07, Volker Weber < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > It is a apache commons like project, just not located in > commons.apache.org. > > If it is named myfaces-jsf-commons it should clear enough this is a > > myfaces project. > > > > And imho it should contain tools, components, ... for jsf users like > > apache-commons-beanutils contains java-collection stuff for java > > users. > > > > > > Regards, > > Volker > > > > 2007/10/30, Ron Smits <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > Grins, I so do not want to start a 'poco sensitive' discussion.
