So I have NB show the list of JARs. I right-click struts-faces, and

I can just remove that library from the WAR before I deploy it.
NetBeans libraries are unitary. You get all the JARs in a library or
none. You can set up your own libraries for finer-grained control.
For example, MyFaces requires a number of Apache Commons libraries. I
have a library that contains the MyFaces JARs plus all the Commons
JARs, but that has risks. I may want a newer version of a Commons JAR
and I might have another library that also includes Commons JARs,
causing double inclusion. I also might put some of these JARs into,
say, my common Tomcat lib/ directory, also causing redundant
inclusion. To solve this, I have a custom library with just the
MyFaces JARs and others for each of the Commons JARs, and I use (or
don't use) those in lieu of the all-in-one library.
