This applies to this accessibility guideline for web images:
http://www-03.ibm.com/able/guidelines/web/webimages.html

Running the JSF tutorial through the W3C validator turned up some images which are missing the alt text attribute:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Feclipse.org%2Fwebtools%2Fjsf%2Fdocs%2Ftutorial%2FJSFTools_1_0_tutorial.html&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0

In the general JSF tools website http://eclipse.org/webtools/jsf/main.php, some other images were reported as missing alt text:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Feclipse.org%2Fwebtools%2Fjsf%2Fmain.php&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0

Reproducible: Always

From the accessibility guidelines page above:

> If the image is redundant, unimportant, or used 
> for visual effect, null alternative text should 
> be assigned. Assistive technology will ignore the 
> image, as long as the title attribute is also null.
> <img src="placeholder.gif" alt="" title="" />
