Hi Thorbjørn,

I've been using Facelets since 2005, and added RichFaces this time around. That's in conjunction with the Glassfish project that had some discussion earlier. I'm presenting "Fun with JSF, Facelets and RichFaces" to our JUG in January, and am going to send out an invite to the local AS/400 group. As you might expect, there are several areas that it helps to be knowledgeable about, and some I'm going to send to Ed Burns to maybe deal with in JSF 2.0.

Sounds very interesting, but I am pretty sure that I will not be able to attend your presentation. Could you perhaps share what you will tell your JUG?

I'm not completely married to RichFaces, but IMO Facelets is the way to go with JSF.

As for IDE's, just be careful that you don't unknowingly get stuck with *it's* favorite brand of components. Personally, I use the RI components unless I specifically want another, like the Richfaces elements.

For my project I ended up with myfaces + tomahawk. The single facility that was fantastic when coding was the tomahawk tag that allowed access to both the old and the new page's information when needing to pass parameters to the new context <t:update....> somethingish.

Is there anything in the RI or Richfaces that you think is so spectacular that I should know about it?
