Echo2 Web Framework 2.1.0 Beta 5

Echo2 Web Framework is the next-generation of the Echo Web Framework, a platform for developing web-based applications that approach the capabilities of rich clients.
The 2.0 version holds true to the core concepts of Echo while providing dramatic performance, capability, and user-experience enhancements made possible by its new Ajax-based rendering engine.
Echo2 removes the developer from having to think in terms of "page-based" applications and enables him/her to develop applications using the conventional object-oriented and event-driven paradigm for user interface development.
Knowledge of HTML, HTTP, and JavaScript is not required. Applications may be hosted using any Java servlet container.
Enhancements:
- This release added support for setting render IDs on Components such that Echo2 applications may be tested with browser-based unit-testing environments such as Selenium.
