Error while trying to create JavaServer Faces project [message #832206]

Hi,
I'm currently learning how to develop JavaServer Faces web applications, using Eclipse. To do so I'm following a tutorial (as I've posted less than 25 comments, I can't share the link to the tutorial in this thread).

However, Eclipse gives me an error when I try to create a JavaServer Faces project.
Any/all help in resolving this is greatly appreciated!

Here's what I did:

(1) File->New->Dynamic Web Project

(2) On "Dynamic Web Project" page
Project name: "JSFProject"
Configuration: JavaServer Faces V2.0 Project
<press> Next

(3) On "Java" page
<press> Next

(4) On "Web Module" page
<select> "Generate web.xml deployment descriptor"
<press> Next

(5) On "JSF Capabilities" page
Because this is the first time I'm creating a JSF project, I need to install/download a JSF implementation.
<press> "Download library..."

(6) After pressing the "Download library..." button I get this error:

Unhandled event loop exception
No more handles [MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME='/usr/lib64/xulrunner-addons'] (java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library. Reasons:
Can't load /opt/eclipse/eclipse_v3.6.2/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/151/1/.cp/libswt-mozilla-gtk-3659.so
no swt-mozilla-gtk in java.library.path
Can't load library: /tmp/swtlib-64/libswt-mozilla-gtk-3659.so
Can't load library: /tmp/swtlib-64/libswt-mozilla-gtk.so
)

Any ideas?

Regards,
Alex

Looks like it is the problem of Eclipse SWT library, not JSF or WTP plugin. Looks like the libswt-mozilla-gtk files are missing. Try to update Eclipse.

Thanks for the tip, but I tried updating Eclipse and it didn't help.

I also installed all "libswt-*" packages through Synaptic Package Manager, but that didn't help either. It seems as though "libswt-mozilla-gtk" is no longer distributed.

Still looking for a solution...

I've now created a duplicate thread in the SWT forum.
Is it possible to delete this thread somehow?

You might have SWT set up for another project, but understand that it's
not going to be helpful with JSF. I have some notes on JSF if you'd like
them. Ask me for them off-line, especially if you're pulling your hair
out over JAR nightmares. Also, I think http://www.vogella.de has got a
good JSF tutorial that may still work.

Thanks Russel,
I'm actually working my way through the Vogella JSF tutorial right now.

I've solved this issue now. The solution is posted in the SWT forum, but in short I just had to install the necessary package in Ubuntu (xulrunner-1.9.2).

Another thing, I *am* having JAR nightmares right now and I've created a thread about it in another forum: "Eclipse Projects -> JavaServer Faces -> Maven + JSF = ClassNotFoundException - javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.Config"
(I can't link to it as forum members with fewer than 25 posts are not able to put links in posts).

If you think you could help, please visit that thread and let me know what you think.

Thanks again,
Alex

If you're using Maven, my work is of little help. I don't like any of
the existing archetypes and what it forces me to live with in terms of
project organization. (I prefer, for instance, the default layout of the
Eclipse Dynamic Web Project without all that extra subdirectory overhead
Maven archetypes insist on adding in imitation of old, traditional
Java.) I use Ivy + ant and am much happier with them.

Best of luck.

My question is not really Maven specific, it is more:
"How can I tell Eclipse to look for libraries in the Ivy/Ant/Maven libraries?"

The problem I have right now is that all of my dependencies are in fact in the Maven library, but my .jsp files can not see them for some reason. For example, in my .jsp file I get the error: "Unknown tag (f:view)."

At the risk of wasting your time and/or boring you, go to
http://www.javahotchocolate.com and quickly peruse the four articles on
RichFaces and faceletes under the heading "Other tutorials". It was when
I began to write these that I was in the throes of abandoning Maven for
good.

Thanks, but at this stage it's not a Maven/Ant/Ivy/??? problem.
It's that I'm a complete noob with this stuff Smile

so I have no idea which dependencies/versions/etc I need to make the project happy.

Despite not being the biggest fan of Maven, do you know if these dependencies are all I need, in order to start a JavaServer Face v1.2 project=

		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
			<artifactId>myfaces-api</artifactId>
			<version>2.1.6</version>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
			<artifactId>myfaces-impl</artifactId>
			<version>2.1.6</version>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
			<artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</artifactId>
			<version>1.2.1</version>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</groupId>
			<artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl-api</artifactId>
			<version>1.2.1</version>
		</dependency>
