Description

Deployment of a project with JSF utility library OmniFaces (https://code.google.com/p/omnifaces/) on TomEE 1.6.0 SNAPSHOT results in the following log, whereby all @FacesComponent annotated classes are been validated as managed beans:

[etc...]

This is wrong in 2 ways:

1. Why are @FacesComponent classes validated as managed beans in first place? They are nowhere in OmniFaces registered as managed beans.
2. The UndeclaredThrowableException in reason is unhelpful. It is hiding the real reason.
