Thanks Jaco for your email. I guess, I am not the only one is confused
about these jar files naming conversion (jsftemplating.jar and
jsftemplating-base.jar etc.). Question to JSF expert group: Is it possible
to add version number with these jar file or something more meaning full
name may be......
Please advise.
Thanks
Hobi
