LD> Java EE 8 features survey
LD> As part of our early planning for Java EE 8, at JavaOne we held a
LD> "Meet the Spec Leads" BOF and a Java EE Platform expert group meeting
LD> to gather input about features to consider. A summary of the results
LD> of from that effort are linked here

https://java.net/projects/javaee-spec/lists/jsr342-experts/archive/2013-10/message/2.
LD> Our intent was to use the input from those gatherings to prepare a
LD> survey to collect feedback from the entire community, similar to what
LD> we had done a year ago for Java EE 7 issues.
LD> We've just launched this broader Java EE 8 features survey.
LD> Due to its length, we are running it in two parts.
LD> Part 1 is now live at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KGV7RWS
LD> We plan to release part 2 in mid/late January.
LD> Once we gather, distill, and announce the results, our plan will be to
LD> ask for further feedback to help us prioritize among items that
LD> receive significant support.
LD> Please participate and help us spread the word.
Please fill out the survey, in particular questions 5, 6 and 8 - 10.
5. Should Java EE provide support for MVC, alongside JSF?
6. Is there any one de-facto standard technology in this space to which
we should look for inspiration?
8. Should we define a (new) standard templating framework?
9. Should we extract Facelets from JSF as the standard template engine
for Java EE?
10. Should we standardize on another existing technology?
In my opinion, we should extract Facelets, and create a new sub-spec
inside JSF 2.3 that defines MVC such that the refactored facelets can be
used, but which doesn't require traditional JSF usage.
