We can achieve precise ordering as suggested in the post:

* load jquery-1.9
* load plugins that depends on jquery-1.9
* load jquery-2.x
* load plugins that depends on jquery-2.x

We would need to find out how to hook into process of ordering @ResourceDependencies.

I think custom renderer for <h:outputScript/stylesheet could help here.
We already had some discussions at https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12537.
This area is little bit under-specified though.

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].

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].

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.

Thoughts?
