On the other side, I agree with you in the fact that integrating MyFaces is not made very easy. For me, exception messages of MyFaces are not verbose enough to give you an orientation on what's exactly going wrong. I think some work of catching and rethrowing more explicit and verbose exceptions could help in all developement and integration phasis.
-- This is exactly the problem. I have colleagues developing (production-)apps with the RI too. They're started in under 5 minutes... It's tough trying to defend smth as a better alternative (even with your arguments) if you can't back that up getting the first simple page to render... Then your boss says: look it up on their website, it must be there, right? Errrrr... It wasn't my intention to pull down all the long and hard work people put in this release, merely to make a point it could have been organized a little better, Time/Documentation/Testing -wise. It's just unfortunate, doesn't give it a good name. -Wolf
