Facelets : Like Tapestry but JSF

Facelets is a view technology that focuses on building JSF component trees. The web community is eagerly seeking a framework like Tapestry, backed by JavaServer Faces as the industry standard. While JavaServer Faces and JSP are meant to be aligned, Facelets steps outside of the JSP spec and provides a highly performant, JSF-centric view technology. Anyone who has created a JSP page will be able to do the same with Facelets. Even though Facelets is being developed open source under Sun's guidance, it can work with any JSF 1.2 compliant implementation or MyFaces.

It has been included in both the free and PRO versions of Exadel - the choise for JSF as an Eclipse extension based on WTP, and it is also the purpose of the Tomahawn Taglib in MyFaces. Now that Facelets has been integrated in AppFuse, we have no more reasons not to try it.
