     • Working to move existing VPD metadata to the new framework. Goal is to have one unified Metadata model.
     • Working on a framework for the design-time JSF-JSP tag converter. Goal is to make it easy to contribute tag converters for other JSF-JSP tags.
2. Feedback
   • [Bob Gallagher]-It would be desirable to refactor features that are not related to JSF UI down to the WTP level. This will help adoption of features like content assist.
     • [Raghu]-This is the desired goal. However, it is not planned for this release. Please log a request in the bugzilla. Contributions welcome.
