It should be possible to specify Resource Dependencies via XML

From the portlet EG mailing list (Neil Griffin and Ed Burns)

[2.2]

Start by reviewing the existing JSF annotation-based resource dependency support and the faces-config.xml configuration model. Compare how dependencies are represented in each path, then determine the configuration and test entry points needed for equivalent XML support. Done means resource dependencies can be declared in faces-config.xml with parity to annotations.
