The ongoing goal of the ExtFaces project is to make it easier to develop JSF web applications. The project home page can be found at http://www.edorasframework.org/web/fw/extfaces. The following is a list of high-level features:
ExtFaces was founded by Joel Kozikowski and Neil Griffin and was originally sponsored by Liferay, Inc. under incubation. Since then, ExtFaces has been adopted by Mimacom AG and is a sub-project of the edoras framework, which is a suite of JARs that compliment the following stack: JSF/ICEfaces, Spring, JPA, and Liferay Portal. The edoras framework also includes a workflow engine and graphical workflow designer for Eclipse. The project home page can be found at http://www.edorasframework.org.
