Definitely.  Since Rich Faces and AJAX4JSF are quasi-JBoss products, we 
need to make sure those work well with JSFUnit.

Is the portal team using Rich Faces?  If so then let's move Rich Faces 
up to the top of the list of technologies to put into the new demo. 
Then we can see if there is anything special we need to do for Rich 
Faces support.
