MyFaces Quarterly Report April 2015
The Apache MyFaces project is an umbrella project of the Apache Software Foundation
for projects relating to the JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology.
The MyFaces community is stable. Besides working on new releases, we discuss upcoming topics.
-> Community business as usual (nothing special to report).
Releases
- MyFaces (sub) projects with new releases since the last report:
- MyFaces Core 2.0.23 (12/January/15)
- MyFaces Core 2.1.17 (12/January/15)
- MyFaces Core 2.2.7 (12/January/15)
- MyFaces Tobago 2.0.6 (24/February/15)
- MyFaces Tobago 2.0.7 (22/March/15)
Issues
The TCK issue mentioned in our January report for 2014 still exists. Werner Punz summarized the impacts of this issue as follows:
- reduces our marketability, since consumers are more likely to pick a fully-compatible open-source implementation over a partially-compatible open-source implementation.
- reduces our compatibility with other JSF implementations, which makes it more difficult for existing JSF consumers to switch over to MyFaces.
- reduces our compatibility with other JSF implementations, which makes it more difficult for third-party vendors to create libraries which work with all JSF implementations.
- reduces our ability to be distributed as part of a J2EE stack, like TomEE and Geronimo, since their TCK compliance depends upon our TCK compliance.
There are no new issues that require the board's attention at this time.
