Issues

The TCK issue mentioned in our January report for 2014 still exists.   Werner Punz summarized the impacts of this issue as follows:

  • reduces our marketability, since consumers are more likely to pick a fully-compatible open-source implementation over a partially-compatible open-source implementation.
  • reduces our compatibility with other JSF implementations, which makes it more difficult for existing JSF consumers to switch over to MyFaces.
  • reduces our compatibility with other JSF implementations, which makes it more difficult for third-party vendors to create libraries which work with all JSF implementations.
  • reduces our ability to be distributed as part of a J2EE stack, like TomEE and Geronimo, since their TCK compliance depends upon our TCK compliance.

 

There are no new issues that require the board's attention at this time.
