Solution

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class
   org.apache.myfaces.shared_tomahawk.config.MyfacesConfig

Either the classpath is dirty (duplicate JAR files of different versions which get collided with each other), or you simply forgot to install Tomahawk and/or its dependencies commons-fileupload, commons-logging, commons-io and/or commons-el (just put JAR file(s) in /WEB-INF/lib).
