Hi all,

It might be a stupid question, but where does the MyFaces javax.faces
codebase come from? Is it copied straight from Mojarra? Or does this cause
licensing issues and must all files be created by hand, based on the spec?

A.t.m., many of the new classes, like the pdl.facelets package are missing.

If you guys want, I can start adding them to myfaces2 if it needs to be done
by hand.

Regards,
Jan-Kees
