All,
I thought it might be a good time to raise the issue of solidifying a
plan for the MyFaces 2.0 alpha release now that we've had a little time
to work with the release candidate draft of the spec. What are the
thoughts in the community with respect to what should be included in an
alpha release as well as what the time frame should be for a release.
If we can come up with a target date as well as specific 2.0 features we
want to target for inclusion, that should help in prioritizing the
remaining work.
From my end, I'd love to see a working runtime in some form by the end
of August if that's reasonable. As for content, that is definitely more
of an open question. Here is my top list of what I would like to see be
at least partially functional for an alpha release.
-backwards compatibility with JSF 1.x apps
-base support for facelets and composite components
-AJAX support (should hopefully be in pretty good shape here thanks to
Ganesh and team)
-System event support
-Partial view traversal
Thoughts/concerns/objections?
