  =3D Welcome to the Apache MyFaces Project =3D
+ The Apache MyFaces project provides an implementation of the JavaServer=
=E2=84=A2 Faces standard. On top of that implementation, a lot of libraries=
 are provided that add extra functionality and/or make it easier to work wi=
th JSF.
+ =

+ =3D=3D Some history =3D=3D
+ Apache MyFaces started out back in 2002 as the first open source implemen=
tation of the JavaServer=E2=84=A2 Faces (JSF) standard. In July 2004, the p=
roject became part of Apache as an Apache Incubator project. In February 20=
05, MyFaces was promoted to a top-level Apache project. By the time MyFaces=
 was submitted as an Apache project, it was already more than just an imple=
mentation of the standard. As the set of components defined by the JSF stan=
dard is rather limited, MyFaces went beyond the standard by adding more com=
ponents and extended versions of the standard components. In April 2006, th=
e extended components were separated from the core JSF implementation. From=
 that moment, the components are in a subproject called Tomahawk, and the c=
ore JSF implementation is in the Core project.
+ =

+ Over time, Apache MyFaces was further expanded by other subprojects. Some=
 of them added even more extended components, while others focused on other=
 extended functionalities such as persistence scopes and annotation-based v=
alidation. Support for the use of Facelets, instead of JSP, was also added.=
 After the JSF 2.0 specification (JSR 314) became final in 2009, work began=
 to create JSF 2.0 editions of a number of MyFaces (sub)projects. Besides c=
reating JSF 2.0 editions of existing projects, also some new, JSF 2.0 speci=
fic projects were added to the MyFaces family. =
