Since version 4, Java Server Faces (or Jakarta Server Faces) has been renamed to Jakarta Faces (or simply Faces). I think the same should be done with the tag (rename it to ). We could keep the old name as a synonym. Version specific tags (like ) should remain intact.

    +1 but I feel like if we go this path, all other JEE artifacts should be renamed along for consistency. Commented Jan 16, 2023 at 11:19

    I would opt to rename java-ee-* to jakarta-ee-* and leave jee-* names untouched (but change the description and wiki). Commented Jan 16, 2023 at 12:32

    I think for tagging purposes it should be jakarta-faces as mentioned faces is too generic here on stack overflow for a tag. In general though everywhere else outside of SO it should be just Faces Commented Jan 16, 2023 at 13:15

    Is there a reason you want to keep the [jsf-*] version tags intact? Don't they would struggle from the same ambiguity as jsf tag does? Commented Jan 16, 2023 at 23:13
  • Well there are only tags with versions below 4, so from the era the technology was still called Java Server Faces. Technically there is no such thing as Jakarta Faces 1.2. With 2.3 it's a bit of a different story. I think there was a topic on completely removing those version tags. Which is also an option. Commented Jan 17, 2023 at 8:49

    There is also a number of somewhat well-known coding standards for C++ called "Joint Strike Fighter" = JSF. An avionics-developed safer subset of C++. Though none of the questions about it seem to use the JSF tag. Commented Jan 17, 2023 at 9:36

  • @JasperdeVries Oh okay. Well that calls for a disambiguation of the tag then. Commented Jan 17, 2023 at 9:45
  • Is there any chance the tag will be renamed? @BalusC already gave a +1 (he is the top JSF user on SO). Do we need additional approvals? Commented Dec 28, 2023 at 16:00

Please, go ahead migrating to .

Like as with -> , the old tag should definitely become a synonym.

Other suggestions in order to be consistent under the Jakarta EE umbrella:

For reference, the following tags exist already, just keep them as-is:

As to version tags, my personal recommendation is to ban/synonymize them. They are absolutely not helpful.
