this step was done to ensure that you can use different versions of MyFaces' implementation and it's component library in the same container, without fearing incompatibility problems. Imagine you would have a class which had changed a method signature between versions, and the component library would not be able to reference the class that the implementation loads - you couldn't work around this except changing the implementation in the container. If you weren't allowed to to this, you would be stuck. This is more of a problem in the future, as JSF will be part of the JEE5 containers.
I wonder why you can't use our sources, though - if you call mvn clean install once, you should be able to attach the source directories of the shared project to your jars - I think that in the nightly builds and the next release, this will even work directly out of the box (correct me if I'm wrong here, Catalin)

Is the extra jar in the lib really an annoyance? Hibernate alone has 10+ jars, and a standard project has bigger problems than an extra jar. But right now if I want to create a custom component tag class, to choose the parent class (ctrl + spc) the following options are available:
- HtmlInputTextTag (from two sources, taglib.html and taglib.html.ext) which inherits from HtmlInputTextTagBase
- HtmlInputTextTagBase (from myfaces.shared_impl and myfaces.shared_tomahawk).
The real showstopper here is that I cannot browse the sources for the shared classes inside Eclipse (because the binaries and the sources package names do not match), and am forced to do it by hand. This is really an annoyance, because a standard project integrates more than ten frameworks; if a couple of them did the same, my performance would drop to a crawl.
Are you sure that the package renaming gives Tomahawk more independence? I would understand it if we were talking about separating layers and using interfaces, but how does the package name isolate changes?
Sorry if I sound inquisitive :)

Asunto: Re: Why the "shared" package renaming?
Hi,
To get rid of another shared jar in the lib actually, also make the tomahawk more independent from the implementation.

Does anybody know why the shared package gets renamed for tomahawk and core?
I'm trying to use the myfaces jar in a project and link the sources to the jar (standard procedure, prepare a zip with the corresponding sources and attach it to the jar so that framework debugging is possible), but since the package names do not match I have to install/launch maven to obtain the correct package names, and repeat the procedure for each new release.
Anybody knows the rationale behind the package rename? Just asking here :)
