I am trying to use Facelets with MyFaces 1.2. It appears as though the Facelets download at http://facelets.dev.java.net no longer exists.
Does anyone know 1) where I can download Facelets? 2) why has Facelets been removed from this site? e.g. has it been integrated into JSF 2.0 or something?
The
https://*.dev.java.netsites have been migrated tohttp://*.java.netat December 2010. So the Facelets project home page is now available at http://facelets.java.net, liks as that the Mojarra home page is now available at http://javaserverfaces.java.net.However, it’s true that you can’t download Facelets 1.x from there anymore. You can however still download it from several online code repositories such as Maven here or here. The last one has currently 1.1.15 which was the latest release of Facelets 1.x.
And yes, since JSF 2.0, Facelets has been integrated into the JSF API to replace JSP as default view technology. Facelets is now maintained as part of JSF specification. Endusers are encouraged to use the new JSF 2.x instead of the dead JSF 1.x.
