Geronimo + MyFaces + Eclipse should I download myfaces-core?

[fmchale <fm...@binaryfever.com>]

Hello.  I apologize if this questions has already been posted.  I am
currently using Eclipse, Geronimo, and MyFaces 1.2.  Should I use the
MyFaces jars that are included with Geronimo in the /repo/org/....  or
should I download them and use those jars instead.  I did notice that when
using the Geronimo install jars that Eclipse complains about my jsf taglib
directives.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you deploy a webapp into Geronimo it checks to see if you have  
the FacesServlet defined in your web.xml.   If so then it adds the  
myfaces-impl jar from Geronimo's repo to your webapp's classloader.   
That jar contains the JSF core and HTML taglibs which are  
automatically discovered and made available for your webapp when it  
starts up.  i.e. you can use JSF taglibs in your JSPs by simply  
including a FacesServlet definition in your web.xml.   It should not  
be necessary to include the JSF jars inside your webapp or taglib  
directives in your web.xml in order for your webapp to work in  
Geronimo.    But maybe you need to include the MyFaces jars in your  
project's build path for some other reason, such as allowing Eclipse  
to perform some type of validation?

At any rate, I would be interested to see what Eclipse complains  
about when you include the taglib directives.  Maybe there is some  
improper XML in the taglib that should be fixed in MyFaces?
