I got interested in looking at JSF 2.0 as a potential technology to use. Does anybody know when this version is scheduled to come out and how active is the project in general?

JSF 2.0 is part of Java EE 6 (i.e. any Java EE 6 container supports it) and has been elaborated under JSR-314 (which is final since 01 Jul, 2009) but, as mentioned on the JCP web page:
The RI is Mojarra and is already available. As written in Mojarra 2.0.0 is available! (Oct 19, 2009):
You actually don’t need a full Java EE 6 server. For example, check out the post JSF 2.0 and Tomcat or Integrating JSF 2.0 and Weld with Tomcat6. But I’d simply go for GlassFish v3 (or JBoss 5.2+ which also supports JSF 2.0 + CDI).
What project? The RI? What do you mean exactly?Well, Mojarra is used in GlassFish so I consider it as a serious project, with dedicated man power. However, I don’t expect extreme activity now that the spec is final, only maintenance and bugfix releases.
