Hi Irfan,
You can do this w/o adding the dependency. JSF allows any jar file to
contain a faces-config.xml file. You can place this inside your jar
file at META-INF/faces-config.xml. You can look at jsftemplating.jar
file for an example of how this is done.

Yes, although I have mixed feelings about this. Constants should
normally exist and an error helps people find what they did wrong. If I
remove the exception, then typos will be more difficult to find. We can
discuss this at the next jsftemplating developer meeting which is 10/23
@ 12:00 PST (not a great time for you... sorry!). Or we can discuss it
at the next admin GUI ITeam meeting (enough JSFT developers are on that
call to discuss this issue)... that meeting is held on Tuesdays @ 9AM
PST -- in fact I'm on that call right now.
