As BalusC said you don't need to change the physical file names.

With the settings below you should be able to keep files with .xhtml extension and access them as .html.

    
        javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE
        Development
    
    
        javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX
        .xhtml
    
    
        Faces Servlet
        javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet
        1
    
    
        Faces Servlet
        *.html
    
    
        index.html
    

I tested it in GlassFish 3.1.2 with Mojarra 2.1.6 and it works fine.

I hope it helps.
