Spring is optional in the mix, but needs to be used if you want to use Orchestra (http://myfaces.apache.org/orchestra) which offer conversation scopes and other utilities to use JPA and JSF more conveniently. You can use Spring also to register your JSF backing beans as well, so you could register the beans there instead that doing so in the faces-config.xml file, which you can then integrate better with the other spring-controlled bits of your app. If you do not want to use Spring, you can still go with your app and handle the JPA in any other way, so you can have MyFaces+Trinidad+JPA+Maven...
