JNovice is a starter architecture focused in produtivity and ease of development. The project started as a help to aid a friend on Java Learning, and evolve as a architecture based on Appfuse project, but with easy deployment and debugging. There are extension points and diferences on the two projects, but it's mainly an implementation of the JSF flavor using only JSF components. The upcoming versions will add to the mix Netbeans 5.5 integration, JasperReports and Eclipse BIRT, Lucene+Compass integration, Acegi Security and JSF Goodies with Ajax4JSF and Facelets.
