[jsfunit-dev] JSFUnit Update

June was a pretty dead month for JSFUnit development. I was out of town for three of the last four weeks. Most of the development time I had available was spent on JBoss AS. Now that June is almost over, it's time to ramp back up and get a beta release out the door. If JBoss World really happens in September then I think that will be a great time to kick it off. Otherwise, I still see no reason that we shouldn't be able to release a beta in that time frame, if not sooner. There are three milestones that I think we need to meet before a beta: 1) Ant and Maven integration: The biggest hurdle to adoption of JSFUnit will be the ease with which it integrates into a development environment. We must have something equal to or better than "cactify" for JSFUnit. Matt, are you still on board to help with this feature? 2) Build a comprehensive demo: We need to prove that JSFUnit can effectively test a robust JSF application including AJAX components and Seam. We have a couple of Red Hat interns who have signed up for this project. Welcome Jonathan Prindiville and Clive Saldanha to the JSFUnit project! 3) General feedback: In reaction to some feedback in the forum, I just spent the last two days doing a huge refactoring of the facade API that makes it much more robust and easier to use (See Jira JSFUNIT-5). But I'm sure there are other obvious improvements to be identified. Please, if you haven't tried out JSFUnit for yourself yet, SPEND AN HOUR AND GIVE US SOME FEEDBACK. Lastly, I'm really excited about the potential of this project. JSF is becoming a huge part of the Java market and JSFUnit stands to become the de facto choice for testing JSF applications. Thanks to all of you for your help and continued support. Stan
