Cool, I was hoping we had one. :) Paul, you mind if I ask you some
questions about this?
I can totally understand the want/need for the converters and validators
to be ported to 1.1 (and thus need 1.4 support), but what about the
utilities? Currently Trinidad, Tomahawk, and Tobago support JDK 1.1 and
therefore their adoption of the common utilities would be slow if not
non-existant. I know that the logic I'm trying to introduce, although
it could be used in JSF 1.1 environments, really becomes most useful
when dealing with JSF 1.2 and the portlet bridge. I also wouldn't think
that things like unified multi-part form processing would be likely to
make it into current 1.1 renderkits since it would require a lot of code
to be rewritten and may not be backward compatible.

I have projects I support on HP-UX that are currently running
JDK 1.4.

This is open source, so no one is required to use it and embracing 1.2
is only going to help the development community move forward.
+0.5 on 1.1 support with JDK 1.5 required on both.
Just because the specification supports 1.4 does mean libraries have
to. JDK 1.5 has been out plenty long enough for companies to adopt it.
If they cannot adopt it, they should be willing to forgo new libraries
and functionality
-1 on 1.1 w/ 1.4
This is too much work and will really hold nicer features back (I also
would have no interest in developing and testing it personally).
Just my $.02

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.
here we go;
my understanding is, that 1.1 is a must
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. :)
JSF 1.1 => java1.4
JSF 1.2 => JDK5
