Contribution of component library planned, live demo available
Dear MyFaces-Team,
after the MyFaces BOF on the ApacheCON 2005 we have talked to Martin
and Matthias about our extensional faces-based component library Tobago.
We showed them some of our online examples visible at
http://tobago.atanion.net
and we all agreed, that it is important to build up an open-source-
based community around this stuff.
We learned how such a contribution in the ASF world works. So we are
willing to add our component library into the incubator project to
build such a communitiy.
We are really interessted in your feedback regarding our examples.
Unfortunatelly the descriptive text in the demo is not available in
English yet.
Hoping to hear from you
Udo Schnurpfeil

Hi,
in the moment the focus is on mozilla/firefox and ie.
Better Safari and Opera support is on the tasklist.
Currently I've bought a Mac, so I'm interested myself ;-)
regards
Udo

Hi!
great components! What I like is the menu component with the feature to disable
menu items and the abillity to select a menu item by using keyboard shortcuts.
Also the table component is really impressive.
The use of JavaScript for me is not a problem - as long as there are no
conflicts with browsers. Beside Internet Explorer and Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox
you should also test your components with Apple Safari and Opera.

The demos look simply great! Looking forward for your contribution -
I've got a lot of work for your components. ;)
Bye.

Well might not be the worst thing to do, because yesterday I stumbled
upon another excellent component library under the Apache2 license which
somebody posted the link for in the Exadel forums (I posted the link
already but here it is again http://www.jenia.org/jsp/index.jsp)
guess in the long run there might be a splitting into several component
packs necessary.

Well, for large code contributions, which this component set would obviously
be, we have to go through the incubator to make sure that all intellectual
property issues are solved and also that there is an interest in the
community.
As with Matthias and me, we have been very interested in what we were shown
yesterday ;)
It seems as we might be ending up with a set of competing libraries under
the hood of Apache MyFaces, with the possibility to decide upon a set of
components based on your preferences.
regards,
Martin

Great stuff, although some of the components are redundand with the
myfaces ones, your visual designs are way better of them.
You also obviously have an excellent client side tabbed pane,
way better than mine, because yours allows nested tabs.
Just a question, why the incubator of ASF, why not myfaces directly?
The Sandbox would come to my mind as a perfect place for that stuff
until it is moved properly into the myfaces hierarchy?
