@Pavel, Marek: do you have any concerns about using maven-shade-plugin to integrate Guava library into richfaces.jar?
I think the problem we faced in RF 4.3 in WFK was about usage of Shade Transformers (that we do not use in RF5), but I don't recall the problem specifically.

@Pavol: Shading of Guava in 5.0 applies to 4.5 as well.
I don't think we should back-port it to 4.3, at least not at this point.
