ICEfaces 2.0 - Alpha 1 is out!

« Countdown to ICEfaces 2.0 - Alpha 1 | Main | What's new in JSF 2.0? »

I'm very pleased to announce that ICEfaces 2.0 - Alpha 1 is now available for download.

This inaugural development milestone release of ICEfaces 2.0 provides the fundamental capability of running the next-generation ICEfaces core on the Mojarra JSF 2.0.1 runtime. You can plug the icefaces.jar into your existing JSF2 application and immediately receive some of the benefits of ICEfaces Direct-to-Dom rendering, such as providing incremental page updates without the need to specify the JSF 2 "f:ajax" tag. A sample application is included demonstrating ICEfaces 2 with JSF 2 ("h:") standard components, and Ajax Push.

Also included in this release is the initial implementation of the ICEfaces 1.x compatibility libraries, along with sample applications that demonstrate this capability. The ICEfaces 1.x compatibility libraries are used to readily port your existing JSF 1.2 / ICEfaces 1.8 applications to JSF 2.0 / ICEfaces 2.

See the Release Notes for all the details.

We are planning to have another significant ICEfaces 2 milestone release, featuring the beginnings of our all-new ICEfaces 2 component suite, before the end of this year, so stay tuned!
