Issue using RichFaces 4
I am developing an RichFaces app from scratch (not migrated) to experiment with RichFaces 4.0. I am using Eclipse Helios, and Tomcat 6. I am using Mojarra 2.0.2-FCS release and RichFaces 4.0.0.M2. I did have some class not found issues so I ended up using core-impl-4, components-ui-4,components-api-4 and core-api-4. My web.xml is pretty simple as follows:
<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
<display-name>xxxxxxxx</display-name>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<context-param>
<param-name>org.richfaces.skin</param-name>
<param-value>blueSky</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- Making the RichFaces skin spread to standard HTML controls -->
<context-param>
<param-name>org.richfaces.enableControlSkinning</param-name>
<param-value>enable</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
<param-value>client</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- Faces Servlet -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<!-- Faces Servlet Mapping -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
I have also pulled in libs such as to resolve some earlier class not found issues:
jhighlight-1.0
commons-beannutils-1.7
commons-collections-3.2
commons-digester-1.8
commons-logging-1.1.1
jstl-1.2
sl4j-api-1.5.2
sl4j-log4j12-1.5.2
At this point my app is failing to start up with the following error:

Any thoughts about how to address the error? Do I need to include the jar with: com.google.common.base.Joiner
Is this a dependency with 4.0? As an fyi, i first got the app to work just as a JSF 2.0 app before adding the RichFaces.
Thanks.
