It would be really nice if the generated build.xml produced by Maven would allow Ant property replacements for the paths to all the dependencies, instead of hard coding them, so you could just define your exceptions in a local build.properties file. > > 2) Change the build to compile against MyFaces instead of the RI.

(I > honestly don't know how real that scenario is.) MyFaces is more than one thing, but the most important part for our purposes is an implementation of the spec (the other part is a JSF component library, which is not relevant for the purposes of compiling Chain). In turn, this implementation is split into API classes and implementation classes (just like the RI does it), so it would be really easy to make this sort of change.
