OmniFaces 2.5在2016年9月15日正式发布了。
OmniFaces 是一个JSF 2的工具库，其目的是为了让JSF应用开发更加简单。
你是否厌倦了为每个JSF web应用程序重新创造JSFUtil或FacesUtil实用程序类？是否厌倦了定制组件、 taghandlers 等来解决JSF的缺点？OmniFaces可能是正你要找的东西!
与那些其他JSF 2库（如PrimeFaces、BootsFaces或ButterFaces）已经熟知和喜爱的美丽的视觉导向组件相反，OmniFaces也许永远不会包含丰富的表格组件或漂亮视觉之类的东西。把OmniFaces说成是处理日常JSF API中的小缺点的实际问题和解决方法“实用工具”更为适合。
