One of our users was trying to using their own extended version of
tree2.  In their faces-config.xml (their version, not the default one
in the jar) they had the following ...

 <component>
   <component-type>org.apache.myfaces.HtmlTree2</component-type>
   <component-class>org.objectsource.ui.UITree</component-class>
 </component>

So basically he was just replacing the component class for tree2. 
When he tried to use tree2 in a page he got just a blank page.

Once he added the following everything worked fine ...

 <renderer>
   <component-family>org.apache.myfaces.HtmlTree2</component-family>
   <renderer-type>org.apache.myfaces.HtmlTree2</renderer-type>
   <renderer-class>org.apache.myfaces.custom.tree2.HtmlTreeRenderer</renderer-class>
 </renderer>

This is the *same* renderer block as in the default faces-config.xml
that is inside the jar.  The user is reporting that MyFaces is
requiring the renderer to specified in the user's faces-config.xml
file if the component is overridden there.

Is that true?  If so, is that a MyFaces bug/limitation or is that in
the specification somewhere?
