Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I found that having library source makes it much easier to comprehend the specification and the actual behavior of the JSF EA2 implementation.

If you share this feeling, you may find the following instructions helpful:

1) Download JODE from http://jode.sourceforge.net/

2) Run the following (all on one line) in the .../jsf10.ea2/lib directory

java -classpath .../jode-1.1.1.jar jode.decompiler.Main -c
jsf-ri.jar,commons-digester.jar,commons-logging.jar,
commons-beanutils.jar,jstl.jar,
.../jwsdp-1_0_01/common/lib/servlet.jar
jsf-api.jar > jsf-api.java

java -classpath .../jode-1.1.1.jar jode.decompiler.Main -c
jsf-api.jar,commons-digester.jar,commons-logging.jar,
commons-beanutils.jar,jstl.jar,
.../jwsdp-1_0_01/common/lib/servlet.jar
jsf-ri.jar > jsf-ri.java

Perhaps EA3 could contain the source to save us all this trouble?

Cheers,
