Parent Project:

Eclipse EE4J

Background:

This project is created as part of the process of transitioning Oracle Java EE 8 and GlassFish technologies to the Eclipse Foundation as described in The Eclipse Enterprise for Java Project Top Level Project Charter (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j/charter).

Scope:

Eclipse Mojarra provides the API, TCK, and an implementation for JavaServer™ Faces, starting from the specification defined by JSR-372.

(Note: The API and TCK will be parsed into a separate Eclipse project once this initial project population for EE4J is complete.)

Description:

Eclipse Mojarra is an implementation for the JavaServer Faces specification (JSR-372). JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a Java specification for building component-based user interfaces for web applications. It is also a MVC web framework that simplifies construction of user interfaces (UI) for server-based applications by using reusable UI components in a page.

Mojarra is included in GlassFish.

Why Here?:

The top level EE4J project was created consistent with the direction described in The Eclipse Enterprise for Java Project Top Level Project Charter (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j/charter). This project is created under the top level EE4J project as one of Oracle Java EE 8 and GlassFish technologies being transitioned to the Eclipse Foundation.
