There are 3 systems here
Oracle ADF (no obsolete and no longer supported) MyFaces Trinidad (where Oracle ADF went) Oracle ADF RichFaces (depends on Trinidad but incompatible; a page can either contain Trinidad or ADF RF tags but not both) Oracle ADF RichFaces is what Oracle has been demonstrating for the last several months, although it is still in beta. It is the core underlying component library for Oracle's Fusion 11g release scheduled for "sometime in 2008". We're working in all three: ADF RichFaces is fun but not done; Oracle ADF is done but obsolete; MyFaces Trinidad does everything Oracle ADF did and a bit more.

Thanks Matthias, That email thread helped and hurt. :) ... Are there any rich/ajax components in Trinidad? Those emails made me think not. About the skin: I don't know what it takes to build a skin. Is it just CSS or is there more JSF specific stuff? ... I guess I'll have to go research it. ,chris On Dec 28, 2007 10:47 AM, Matthias Wessendorf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, this question was already asked (in a similar way) in the past.

Same is true for things like the "Telnet RenderKit". Mainly b/c of dependencies / licenses for the dependencies. > > So I'm still left wondering which to use.

Trinidad is the base for ADF Faces 11g; Trinidad is used in JDev 11g (google for a tech. preview) as the Migration strategie for "old" ADF Faces (10.x). > > Also, there is an Oracle ADF Faces download that is not Trinidad.
