That it's been in the works for a while is good news. I'd love to
have
more information. This would surely help get the web designer at my
office off my back about wanting to add some cool ajax stuff to our
webapps. I've been wanting to do that too, but just haven't had the
opportunity to actually write the components myself.
Any idea when we can expect more information about this stuff?
The BluePrints Catalog components (based on JSF 1.2), as well as the
JSF 1.1 set, are available at [1]. For Creator 2, simply connect to
the Update Center after you install it, and you'll be able to download
the newer version of the JSF 1.1 components. You can download Creator
by starting at [2], as well as access a bunch of tutorials about using
the AJAX based components in a Creator based application.

Any plans to make it easier to use these components without having to
have Creator and/or Glassfish is what I'm really wondering. I prefer to
use just plain Tomcat when I can, and I've come to really like Eclipse
for my IDE. But I do all my building, running of tests and deployment
using Maven. Right now it seems like it would be very difficult for me
to even try and get a sample webapp up and running that uses these
components with my preferred development tools.
