The jQuery version we use in RichFaces 5 is currently pinned by the
jQuery requirements of RichFaces 4.5. Idealy we would port the RF
4.5 to use the newer jQuery, however this will only take us so far,
as jQuery 2.x drops support for older IE browsers [1], some of which
are targets for RichFaces 4 [2].<br>
<br>
A flexible solution to this problem that would allow the RF 4.5 and
RF 5 to use separate jQuery versions (in a compatible way). For an
example of how we can achieve this, see [3].<br>
<br>
This however would not resolve any conflicts in jQuery UI plugins.
Before proceeding down this path we should grep the codebase and
identify where such a conflict can be expected, and an assessment
made to determine if they can be worked-around.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
