Eddie, Yes, to update to a newer release. I will leave the older version in the tree. We could still build/test against that if desired. The reason I was going to update and test the build against the newer version is that MyFaces now has a dependency on commons-lang.jar. The changes to the build.xml would check for availability of a commons-lang.jar property in a MyFaces build (target 'build-myfaces') and copy the jar appropriately. We don't ship the MyFaces jars so I don't have to do this but thought it might help.

Carlin-- These changes sound fine to me. To be clear, is the reason to update MyFaces just to use a newer release? With respect to JSF 1.2, MyFaces hasn't delivered official release that supports this version of the specification; according to their most recent status report, this should be done sometime in the first quarter, though testing could be done against builds -- assuming they exist. :) A discussion on JEE 5 support would be great!
