[jsr-314-open] AJAX library in JSF 2.0

[Roger Kitain]

Hey Pete -

Thanks for the clarification - that's what I thought based on prior 
discussions I've
had with Alex.  Yes, ICEFaces had done some preliminary work with JSF 2.0:
http://www.java.net/blog/2009/05/25/icefaces-20-and-jsf-20-together
And I'm sure ADF Faces will follow suite (if they haven't started already).
