And what about Java Server Faces (JSF) in Debian? We already have Struts and it seems JSF could replace it. While googling around, I found a lot of websites, tutorials, plugins and so. It seems the JSF community is growing and the API seems powerful. I already work with Struts, maybe I have to have a look at this promising technology too.
If we put JSF to Debian, maybe we should start with release 1.1 because of the lack of free J2SE50 at the moment (even if ecj, classpath-generic-branche, jamvm are very promising). We'll need (list of dependencies):
- Tomcat 5.5.x
- J2SE1.4 -- ok -- (we already have free ones ;-))
- Ant 1.6.5 -- ok --
- Junit 3.8.1 -- ok --
- Cactus 1.4.1 (JSF 1.1) for the Servlet 2.3 API
- HtmlUnit 1.4
- Tag Library Documentation Generator 1.3 (only needed if you plan to generate the TLD documentation)
