What EL version should I use along with JSF 2.1.29-01?

When we were using JSF 1.2-09 we had the following dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>el-impl</groupId>
    <artifactId>el-impl</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

But now, we're updating to the JSF 2.1.29-01 and it's not clear what version I should use by now?

The minimum requirements from the JSF Tag Info:

JSF 2.1 uses some Servlet 3.0 specific features, but is backwards compatible with Servlet 2.5. Those Servlet 3.0 features are optional.

And if we take a look to the JSF 2.0 minimum requirements we can find that: EL 2.1 which goes hand in hand with Servlet 2.5

So the conclusion is that EL 2.1 is the recommended EL for JSF 2.1

The EL implementation as well as the el-api jar you are using is part of your application container distribution. As JSF 2.0/2.1 is part of the Java EE 6 technology stack which is implemented by Tomcat 7, you should link to that api spec.

To compile your sources you will need to reference the needed el-api 2.2 with <scope>provided</scope> in your pom so that your web archive will not contain any EL libraries and possible conflicts with container provided libraries are avoided.

Judging by Maven repository information, JSF 2.1 depends on el-api 1.0.
