Unable to use myfaces without jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar
I'm new to JSF and would like a few pointers to get started. After downloading the examples, I saw no reference to jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar in WEB-INF/lib, which is what the myfaces website tutorial suggests. However, I'm unable to use myfaces-api-1.1.5.jar and myfaces-impl-1.1.5.jar in my web application without jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar. I'm currently using Eclipse with Tomcat 5.5.x integrated into the development environment. When jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar are not in my WEB-INF/lib, starting Tomcat would get me this error:

With both of them in WEB-INF/lib, I don't get any problems. What do I need to do to make this work solely with myfaces libraries?

You can see that I only referenced one listener:
<listener><listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
Second, I tried deleting everything in the WEB-INF/lib directory and compile again. This time it gives the same ClassNotFoundException and asks me for the StartupServletContextListener, which is what it should look for. So I copied myfaces-api-1.1.5.jar and myfaces-impl-1.1.5.jar into the directory, and again it gave:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener
Third, I checked my Tomcat common/lib directory to see if there are any references to JSF and I did not find any.
Fourth, I verified that my faces-config.xml file uses the 1.1 Config instead of the 1.0 Config:
<!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.1//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd">
What should I do now?
