Ok I've got this (custom JSF component) working now - it turns out that after removing the jars from WEB-INF/lib I then needed to add the WebSphere com.ibm.ws.webcontainer_2.0.0.jar to the Eclipse project as an external jar. Presumably this means that the super class (UIComponentTag) methods can now be accessed, and everything is ok.
But I'm still slightly confused as to how Eclipse can allow me to deploy 'broken' classes which cause errors only at runtime... There must be something going on behind the scenes or some missing piece that I'm not aware of. Anyway, hopefully this will help someone else... (BTW I'm deploying the actual WAR inside an EAR, not sure if this makes any difference to the Eclipse deployment strangeness mentioned above).
