[jsr-314-open] [www.javaserverfaces.org] A couple of things

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

Even better, why not use/recommend embedded glassfish as the ultimate
quick-start through maven?

Keep it simple.

Overall, the new home page looks great. However, I'm not comfortable with
the "Getting started" section. We are sending them on a wild goose chase
right away to Wikipedia, which wrongly identifies Tomcat as a Java EE
Application Server, which it is absolutely not (sorry, I get worked up over
that topic).

I think what we need to do is direct them straight to the getting started
page which provides a Maven 2 archetype to deploy either to Jetty/Tomcat or
a Java EE app server (GlassFish is probably going to be the most neutral
recommendation given it is the RI). We may have to tinker with our options
here. It really is more complex than it should be right now.

I'd like to recommend using the Maven 2 archetypes that Steven Boscarine has
been preparing in the Weld source tree. Keep in mind that there is no hard
dependency to Weld, except for the use of the Weld servlet extension to use
CDI on Tomcat and Jetty. The Java EE 6 archetype, on the other hand, creates
a project that produces a pure, server-independent WAR based on JSF 2.0, BV
1.0 and CDI 1.0. The only tie to Weld is an import of the helper POM that
sets the API versions in a dependency management section (just a convenience
thing). We are working to get these things published to Maven central.
Again, more details to come.
