Hi,
I would like to change how the <t:radio> is rendered. This tomahawk tag 
is handled by org.apache.myfaces.custom.radio.HtmlRadioTag, however when 
I looked in that class, the getRendererType() method returns null. How 
should I overwrite the renderer for this tag?

When the tag class returns null for getRendererType, that just means 
that the type string is taken from the component class instead.

In class HtmlRadio, you'll see:
  private static final String DEFAULT_RENDERER_TYPE =
    "org.apache.myfaces.Radio";

  public HtmlRadio()
  {
      setRendererType(DEFAULT_RENDERER_TYPE);
  }


So you should use "org.apache.myfaces.Radio" in your faces config file 
when specifying your own renderer for this component.
