So if I have 10 (or 100) web applications I need to have 10 (or 100) copies of the *same* jars over and over?
That seems a waste of space and resources to me. For example, when a new release is out, it's better to upgrade just one set of jars (like I do, for example with JSTL), instead of redeploy all the web applications, and look for the ones using myfaces.
Is there any way to overcome the problem?
Please see the following pages:

While the latter was written for Struts, the same principles apply to MyFaces.
