We have grand plans for simplifying the development of components.  It will
be pretty similar (in concept, at least) with the technique Ken Paulsen and
I laid out here:

http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2EE/jsf_templating/index.html

Furthermore, we will have in JSF 2 annotations for just about every XML
element one currently sees in faces-config.xml (i.e., managed-bean,
component, renderer, etc) so the XML needed, scant as it is now, should
shrink to almost none, and Ajax will be a first-class citizen with an API
defined for an implementation to ... um... implement that will handle the
low level XHR work.  There's even been some discussion of having the
FacesServlet configured by default as part of Java EE 6 much like how JSP
works now.  I'm not sure what the status is on that, though.

that this is addressed.  Anyways, have you had a chance to look at the

I haven't.  I think we're supposed to use them here at the FAA, but I tend
to lean toward RichFaces.  I don't have anything bad to say about ADF Faces,
though.  I just have no personal experience with them.
