Hi Kito,

What is going to happen to the open issues in the facelets project? Are they going to be reviewed before attempting a G.A. release of JSF 2.0?

There are some really serious bugs, like https://facelets.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=349 that changes the data of a form without the user knowledge, or https://facelets.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=353 that doesn't allow you to add an item to the beginning of a List when you manually set the IDs for your components.

Hello Jose,

I think you can expect very little activity in the existing Facelets project going forward, since it's now part of JSF 2.0. Both Mojarra and MyFaces include JSF 2.0 Facelets support derived from the same code base. So, going forward, Facelets will be maintained as part of each implementation.

I've sent this email in the facelets dev mailing list, but I've got no answer, so I'm reposting here:
Both stable version (1.1.14) and the latest beta are more than one year old.
There are 141 open issues, some very serious (some with proposed patches) that are yet to be considered.
What are the plans for facelets and those issues?
And now that facelets is part of JSF 2.0 distribution, is facelets going to be maintained by the JSF-RI team? Will it still be a separate project?
Thanks,
