MyFaces JSF Commons Project

[Scott O'Bryan]

Hey everyone,

I'm going to try to put together a proposal for some items it add to the 
jsf commons fairly soon for your purusal.  First off, however, I'd like 
some technical information on this project as it may effect how the 
project is set up.

1. Which version of JSF will be the minimum for this project?  One of my 
proposals involves needing an ExternalContextWrapper and the version of 
JSF does make a difference.  I, personally, would like to see this based 
off 1.2 but if we need a 1.1 Faces Commons then I would recommend both a 
1.1 and a 1.2 branch.

2. What is the minimum JDK we are going to use for this project.  My 
preference would be J2SE 5 for the build.  I could even live with making 
sure that code can be compiled with J2SE 5 in 1.4 compatibility mode but 
I think we need to be able to support generics at the very least.  Of 
course if we're basing the commons project off of JSF 1.2, J2SE5 is a 
no-brainer.  :)
