Description Cameron Bateman CLA 2010-05-10 17:46:08 EDT 
The MyFaces implementation does not bundle .taglib.xml files in their jars to define the standard tags.  We do not currently have a way in Helios to add them, so development with MyFaces libs (as opposed to the RI libs) will be limited.
Comment 1 Yury Kats CLA 2010-05-11 14:31:34 EDT 
Tooling for standard tags should not depend on JSF implementations packaging taglib.xml. This is not required by JSF spec and is up to the implementation authors.

Tooling for standard tags should be self-contained as all information about those tags is spec'ed and thus is available.

Not supporting MyFaces is a big deal. I would mark this as "critical", not "normal".

That's not what that means.  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity

* Explain why you believe this is a stop-ship defect. Or, if it is a "hotbug"
(requested by an adopter) please document it as such. 
This is a stop-ship bug. JSF 2.0 features are not supported for the MyFaces 2.0 implementation which is a major blocker for adopters and users.
* Is there a work-around? If so, why do you believe the work-around is
insufficient? 
No workaround.
* How has the fix been tested? Is there a test case attached to the bugzilla
record? Has a JUnit Test been added? 
Junit test attached.
* Give a brief technical overview. Who has reviewed this fix? 
See  description and comment 4. The fix bundles the taglib.xml from the RI implementation and loads it if not found in the classpath.
* What is the risk associated with this fix?
