Hello Georg,
There isn't a standard API for revealing the JSF version, but you can
reveal the location of the JSF API JAR:
System.out.println("JSF API Location: "
+ FacesContext.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource());
This will print out the path to the JAR that contains the FacesContext.
I've found this useful in WAS 7 and 8 for determining the location of the
JSF classes are being loaded.
