Where to get JSF 1.2 jars?

[Frank Felix Debatin <ff...@gmx.net>]

I downloaded the "Java EE 5" today, but it does not contain a separate jar
for the JSF 1.2 APIs (it is bundled with all the over stuff). Is there a
stand-alone distribution available somewhere? 
 
TIA

I already sent an email to dev@maven list (I'm already on it, big user
of Maven) with the CDDL info etc. From my reading of the license text
on the Glassfish site, the binaries are distributed under a Sun Binary
license which is pretty limited. Whereas the source code itself is
available under CDDL, which of course allows full distribution etc.

So while we cannot distribute the binary javax.* jars compiled by Sun
(even from the Glassfish project), we can certainly compile our own
"version" of those same Jars from the Glassfish source code and
distribute them all we want.

At least, that's **my** interpretation of the situation. IANAL, so who
knows... ;-)

Interesting notion ... Glassfish is CDDL-licensed, so it should be something
that could reasonably be accomplished technically (but then again, when
there's lawyers in the mix ... :-).  I'll float the idea by the relevant
folks.

Thanks for the Ed Burns blog link, Craig. Very helpful.

Wonder if we'll ever see Sun post the **rest** of the javax.* apis in
Maven. Its always annoying to go to the Sun site to download javax.ejb
or javax.transaction, etc.

Ed Burns did a blog entry[1] on where to get the api and impl jars of the
JSF 1.2 RI via Maven.  You can also get the up-to-the-second sources via CVS
by joining the "javaserverfaces-sources" project at java.net.
