I've been developing JSF applications for quite some time. And some 3 or 4 years ago I discovered seam 2 and it was great. Now I decided to try jsf 2 + cdi + seam 3 + primefaces 3 (I know this version is not final yet) and had so many problems along the way, that I am looking for alternatives.

So, if someone can point me to a framework that adds to jsf 2, can work well with facelets and some component library on top of jsf 2 that is html 5 ready, I'd appreciate it.

Also, I am not discarding leaving jsf 2 behind, so if there is some better alternative I am willing to try.

It really just has to play well with Java EE 6 stack, ejb 3.x, ...

Seam 2 is still being developed and supported. Seam 2.3.0 will have JSF2 support. You can try the alpha release here, and upgrade (easy with maven) as soon as there is a stable release.

I also tried Seam 3 for a while, but there are a lot of nice things in seam 2 which aren't there (yet?) in Seam 3. So I switched back to Seam 2...
