New Features for existing Components

• dataTable
  • Sortable Header (+27)
  • Filtering (+15)
  • Dynamic Columns (+4)
  • HOWTO: How to show a row of a dataTable on a modal panel (+4)
  • HOWTO: How to highlight rows in a dataTable when the mouse is over (+3)
  • HOWTO: How to select one row of a dataTable by clicking on it, even if clicked in an inputText of this row. (+1)
    • Possibly similar to Trinidad's rowSelection attribute (single, multiple, none) to render a radio button or check box
  • better renderkits/skins that support customizable corners on components like panels, tabs etc. (CSS3 will have the ability to define border-images for divs but until then, RichFaces needs to produce a markup that allows richer skinning. Currently, a tab is rendered as a single div)

• Calendar
  • show/select time, not only date (+6) remark1
  • Dropdown for the year in the calendar, an upcoming use case of mine is to select the birth date (+6)
  • Further Localisation support - for example the "today" string in the bottom of the calendar (+1)

• Suggestion Box
  • enables to select a suggested *object* instead of a suggested String. (+5)

• TabPanel?
  • Switching by JavaScript? API call(+5)
  • Different positions(+1)
  • scrolling tabs if no enough place for them (+2) proto

• PanelBar?
