Long Live Project Trinidad a.k.a ADF Faces!
Well, after roughly 2 years in the public the ADF Faces component library receives a new name - Project Trinidad. It has been a fantastic ride being part of one of the most successful and complete JSF component libraries in the market, and now being part of its new phase feels fantastic!
There are several reasons for changing the name, but the most important one is to remove the Oracle owned brand "ADF", which could cause confusion moving forward. The new name has been selected by the ADF Faces incubator community using the jira bug tracker as a tool to track proposals.
The name "Trinidad" was voted on and selected for the following reasons:
- The Apache MyFaces project already contains a subproject called Tobago. Trinidad being the bigger island of the two creating the country Trinidad & Tobago (this has by the way nothing to do with World Cup Football.)
- The word Trinidad translated to Spanish means Trinity, and if you are a Matrix buff you like the looks of Trinity (in the Matrix), and, still from the Matrix, you could say that the Oracle plays a big role in the donation.
There are still places in the Apache Incubator where the name "ADF Faces" will still live on for a while, such as mailing lists, svn repository etc... This will most likely change when the project graduates from the Incubator.
For me I guess I will have to get used to saying Trinidad instead of ADF Faces. Note that the name is only for the components donated to the Apache Software Foundation.
