JSF is a specification included in the Java EE platform. There are different implementations of JSF from different vendors. I know Oracle provides Mojarra & Apache provides MyFaces. Are there any other implementations of JSF from other vendors?
The reference implementation Mojarra and the independent Apache implementation MyFaces are the only real and practically available JSF implementations.
Legend has it that IBM at one time did had their own implementation as well, but obviously they don't use this any more (AFAIK WAS 7 was shipped with both Mojarra and MyFaces, leaving the choice to the user).
There supposedly is (was) a mythical Chinese/ Eastern JSF implementation available. A bunch of Java EE specs have been implemented by (for us) obscure Eastern companies that market their closed source products solely for their internal market. Even in the era of the Internet it's hard to validate whether these products actually exist and/or if they aren't just repackaged and rebranded versions of the well known implementations.

I have just started working on developement of a java web-app. I have to use JSF framework in its web tier. Googling around I do see number of implementations of JSF out there viz. Apache Myfaces, Jboss Primefaces etc.
Can anyone guide me please on
Which implementation is now be called as best from the point of -
a) Support/Documentation/tutorials
b) Stability
c) Future aspects of the same
d) Compatibility with Application Servers
As implementations, the two main implementations are MyFaces and Mojarra. Primefaces, Richfaces and many more are component libraries, that work on top of an implementation.
I would say that, for starters, you should first chose the application server and try to stick to the server provided implementation.

I need to choose an open source BPEL engine for my work. I'm new to BPEL and I've never worked with any BPEL engine. Which engine would you recommend me that is easy to configure and use for a begginer? Brief explanation but I really have to experience at all.
We use Apache ODE at work, and it works fine. The project support we have via mailing lists is enough for us.
I used Oracle's BPEL engine about two years ago. It was both a nightmare to configure, and fairly half-baked in terms support. Even their example code didn't work properly. Things may have changed since then.

Struts2 is having built-in support for REST and so Spring MVC.
Ruby on Rails on the other hand is having a strong built in support for REST.
But JSF 2.2 specification does not contain any such support, and it seems that this is not an agenda in future JSF specifications as well!.
Why JSF team is simply ignoring REST?

You should give QT of Trolltech a try, its a C++ framework which you can use
to develop nice GUI applications on almost any platform
QT Website
There's a cross-platform GUI toolkit called wxWidgets. It's a C++ library, but it has binding for Python, and possibly other languages as well. It works on all of the operating systems you've mentioned. I've used it successfully in the past, although it has been a while.

Is JSF being used in the enterprise, or at least growing in use?
We're using it at my company in an 'Enterprise' way, I know the previous two companies I've worked at have used it in various projects. The only other framework which was more popular was Struts 1.
This page gives some 'real world' JSF links.
Yes, it's being used.
Is the use widespread? I don't think so. It's probably being used more than Wicket but less than Spring MVC, at least from conversations with my own peers.
