MyFaces 1.0.8 and calendar component

[Matt Raible]

I tried upgrading Equinox to use MyFaces 1.0.8 and found that my 
calendar component no longer works.  I looked at the myfaces-example 
and finally figured out I needed to add the extensionsFilter and 
associated mappings to my web.xml to get it to work again.  Is this 
documented anywhere?

The second thing I found is I no longer have control over the CSS and 
JavaScript used by my popup calendar.  This means that my pretty 
calendar is gone, and now I'm stuck with the default blue one.  Is it 
possible to customize the CSS anymore (or use my own file)?  The last 
thing I did with 1.0.7 was to add some try/catch blocks in the 
JavaScript so Canoo WebTest didn't puke on a page with a calendar.  
This doesn't seem like it's possible anymore.  Can I use my own custom 
JavaScript popup for the calendar - or do I have to dig into the 
myfaces.jar and customize it there?

Thanks,
Matt
