(long tweet) Add RichFaces to a Maven / JSF 2 project
Case
You have a JSF 2 project that you need upgrade with jBoss RichFaces and Ajax4JSF, (I assume the process is similar for other libraries, such as Primefaces, ICEfaces, etc.).
Quick Fix
In XHTML
In XHTML pages, add the namespaces related to Richfaces:[xml] xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"[/xml]
In Maven
In Maven’s pom.xml, I suggest to add a property, such as:
[xml] <properties>
<richfaces.version>4.1.0.Final</richfaces.version>
</properties>[/xml]
Add the following dependency blocks:
[xml]<dependency>
<groupId>org.richfaces.ui</groupId>
<artifactId>richfaces-components-ui</artifactId>
<version>${richfaces.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.richfaces.core</groupId>
<artifactId>richfaces-core-impl</artifactId>
<version>${richfaces.version}</version>
</dependency>[/xml]
