MyFaces vs JSF and Tomahawck

Hello ,

I am new to JSF (using websphere and RAD for dev.) and I am confused about the difference between JSF ,MYFaces and Tomahawck.

My company does not allow to add new Jars (from Apache) and was wondering if MyFaces and Tomahack jars come as default or they need to be added sperately ?

I was wondering how to use a Calender using JSF and I saw that MyFaces has a good solution for it ..but unfortunately it required a download , are there any such good components bundled as default , if so can I get some examples ..( for Calender pop up ).

Thanks

Websphere comes with SUN JSF RI and with IBM JSF which includes ODC JSF. The IBM JSF also contains a calendar popup, the hx:inputHelperDatePicker.

MyFaces and Tomahawk have to be installed separately. The download/file size can be found on their download site. But they don't have that big advantages over SUN/IBM/ODC JSF components that you must install them.
