+ Welcome to the Apache MyFaces Project 
+ ------
+
+Welcome to the Apache MyFaces Project 
+
+	This is the official homepage of the first free open source
+	Java Server Faces implementation called "Apache MyFaces".
+
+	<<What is Java Server Faces (JSF)?>>
+      
+	Java Server Faces is a new and upcoming web application
+	framework that accomplishes the MVC paradigm. It is comparable
+	to the well-known
+	{{{http://struts.apache.org}Struts Framework}}
+	but has features and concepts that are beyond those of Struts - 
+	especially the component orientation. 
+	
+	Look at	{{{http://java.sun.com/j2ee/javaserverfaces} Sun's JSF Page}}
+	to learn more about the
+	{{{http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=127}Java Specification Request 127}}
+	and to download the specification. You can also find a useful
+	Tutorial there!
+
+  <<Quickstart>>
+
+    * Make sure to have a look at our examples - you can find a
+    working distribution 
+    {{{http://www.irian.at/myfaces.jsf}here}}. 
+    
+    * Find instructions on installing them yourselves in our
+    'Getting Started' section. If you can't find information you
+    need on these pages, make sure you also go to our 
+    {{{http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces}WIKI}}
+
+November 7, 2006 - MyFaces Switches to Maven 2.1.
+
+  MyFaces is now using Maven to perform builds.  We have found Maven to be a 
+  superior build tool and its much easier to maintain complex projects (and their 
+  dependencies.)  
+
+  Nightly builds, official releases and the MyFaces website itself are generated using 
+  Maven.  We are currently working out the kinks in the new mavenized site so please 
+  bear with us.  We have decided to launch the work in progress site since the old site 
+  is getting so out of date.
+
+Tobago 
+
+  The goal of Tobago is to provide the community with a well designed set of user
+  interface components based on JSF and run on MyFaces.  Tobago is more than just a tag library, 
+  it contains some powerful tools for layouts and themes.  For more information, please visit 
+  the Tobago {{{http://tobago.atanion.net/site}site}}.
+  
+  NOTE: Tobago is currently in the ASF incubator and will soon officially join the MyFaces project.
+
+ADF Faces
+
+	ADF Faces refers to an open source code donation contributed by Oracle.  The actual components are 
+	now licensed under the ASF license and can be used by the public.  You can download the source for 
+	the components {{{http://people.apache.org/~bdudney/apache-drop.zip}here}}.  Please be aware that 
+	these components are subject to change (especially package and tag name changes) as the donation works 
+	its way through the incubation process and eventually merges with MyFaces.
+	
+	ADF Faces comes with very high quality components, a dialog framework, as well as personalization 
+	and skinning capabilities. ADF Faces features include: file upload support, client-side validation, 
+	partial rendering of a page (AJAX-style), data tables, hierarchical tables, color/date pickers, 
+	progress indicators, menu tabs/buttons, wizards, internationalization and accessibility. A complete 
+	list of the ADF Faces components is available (here.) This project starts with more than 100 components 
+	which have already been documented and thoroughly tested.
+
+	ADF Faces is a temporary name for this project, what it will be called in the future is yet to be 
+	determined by the Apache MyFaces community. ADF Faces development started in 2001. Initial development 
+	took place outside the Apache Software Foundation, therefore the ADF Faces team and MyFaces are 
+	applying for incubation.
