I assume by 2.0, that JSF will be final and Struts will be (should be) the defacto standard for developing to the JSF spec. Everything in life is a tradeoff and as such I'm hoping someone will come up with a library that let's me put together a JSF/Struts app visually or at least in one config file. (yah yah yah...I know.....thanks for volunteering) I would be willing to give up look and feel for speed of 'time to deploy' (perhaps a choice from a few plugable templates). Let me setup a single configuration file and be able to deploy my new app immediately.
