MyFaces 1.2.1

[mraible <ma...@raibledesigns.com>]

MyFaces 1.2.1 appears to be available in the Central Maven Repository but
there's no indication on myfaces.apache.org on in JIRA. Was it released? If
so, was there an announcement?

Thanks,

Matt

Hmm..there is an impl jar (from 22 dec), and a myfaces-core-project, but
not an api jar.

I would guess that the release manager has made a mistake and published
a partial set of artifacts by mistake. oops. I'll point this out on the
dev list.

There are attempts at the moment to get a 1.2.1 release out; people seem
pretty happy with the current 1.2.1 snapshots. However the release
manager has been having some problems with maven. In addition, Sun's
pain-in-the-arse control of the official JSF approval process means that
the release process is somewhat secretive, even to committers on the
project. A release-candidate is made, then disappears into a black hole
while going through the sun-controlled test process. Sometimes it comes
out again as a blessed release, sometimes not. I think it's fair to say
that the ASF is not happy about this, but there isn't a lot that can be
done. And in the end, having the TCK run against the release candidate
is better than not having it done, even if the process is bad.

I also see that there is a tag directory called "1.2.1", even though the
1.2.1 release has not been made yet. This seems like bad practice to me,
though possibly is the fault of the maven-release-plugin (one of the
more poorly-designed maven plugins IMO).
