To that, I'll add that Mojarra is the JSF implementation used as the
basis for every single Java EE application server out there, with the
single exception being Geronimo, which uses MyFaces. So the odds are
good that if you are using Java EE, you're already using Mojarra.

No company or person can ever give you an absolute assurance, but I can
tell you that Java EE, of which JSF is a part, is critical to Sun's
strategy for success. And if anything, Oracle has made an even more
significant investment in JSF, with ADF being the basis for the majority
of their web tier strategy.
