AnnotationConfigurator and scanning of myfaces impl jar
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MYFACES-2550
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-2550
             Project: MyFaces Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: General
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-beta-2
            Reporter: Jarek Gawor


The AnnotationConfigurator.configure() code attempts to obtain the myfaces impl 
jar (by looking up META-INF/standard-faces-config.xml resource) and scans it 
for certain annotations.

This does not work in OSGi environment because of two issues: 1) the 
getMyfacesImplJarFile() uses context class loader to lookup the resource which 
most likely will return null, and 2) even if that method successfully looked up 
that resource, it won't be able to get a JarFile out it. That's because the url 
returned from resource lookup in OSGi environment can't be considered as a url 
to a jar file.

However, now I'm wondering if the annotation scanning of myfaces impl jar is 
needed at all. None of the classes within the jar have any of the annotations 
that the code is looking for...
