[weld-dev] Compiling against JSF 2 API

[Pete Muir]

Hi Paul

Sorry, wasn't clear. JSF is completely optional in Weld, you don't need the JSF API on your classpath to use Weld.

We do provide optional JSF support inside the jar. Currently this is compiled against JSF 1.2 for maximum compatibility. I want to change this to JSF 2 to (more simply) resolve a bug in our JSF support. So the question is, does anyone object to dropping JSF 1.2 support.
