Alexey Kazakov commented on JBIDE-18548:
----------------------------------------

This is actually depends on how you deploy the app. 
"/someimage.gif " doesn't work if you deploy it with not empty context root.
For example: localhost:8080/*jboss-as-kitchensink-html5-mobile*/index.html (usually used during development).
If you deploy the app with empty context root localhost:8080/index.html then it will work fine (usually used in production).
There is no universal solution solution which approach is better. Paths relative to the resource like ../img/image.gif or relative to the webroot folder like /img/image.gif.
In templates, for example, paths relative to the resource may not work.

But I think it's better to use paths relative to the resource (../img/image.gif) for plain HTML tags <img> because it seems to be more suitable for most cases. And we should keep use /.../... paths for JSF/Facelet tags.
