I’m currently in the middle of migrating an app from in WAS 6.1 using MyFaces 1.2.6 with JRE 1.5 compliance to WAS 8.5 using MyFaces 2.0.0 with JRE 1.6 compliance.
The app installs ok but the home screen never loads. The log shows that the global constants are loaded but no other activity or error is visible. The node shows some errors:

                do you still have a facelets jar in your project? If so, remove it. JSF2 has this 'embedded'

                Your webapp has JSF libraries bundled which conflicts with server's own JSF libraries. Normally, when the server already provides JSF libraries, then you should not supply them along with the webapp, else you need to tell the server to disable its JSF libraries.

                Finished cleaning the project and removed the JSF libraries. Couldn’t get rid of jsf-facelets-1.1.11.jar because it caused errors with missing classes if not present. The two first exceptions listed previously are gone but the rest are still showing in the logs.
