Description

I investigated the produced html code by tree2 control.

I replaced
/faces/myFacesExtensionResource/org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.util.MyFacesResourceLoader/11661031/tree2.HtmlTreeRenderer/images/
by just
../imgs/
reduced the size of the produced code by 50% !

I found no way to replace this path for a certain component or all components.

I understand:
The purpose of this long path is to have all resources in place so a change of the library also changes its used resources.
But in my project an html page of 4Mbyte would become just 2 Mbyte which is a reasonable size to render for todays browsers.

We should
have a way to optimze this wast of space somehow for projects that are little bigger than nice demo pages.

Thank you for this great project and the rich efforts you spend!
