Hi ,
I know this is a bit off the topic.
I am trying to integrate MyFaces(1.0.9) in current MyEclipse 3.8.4 GA, but to no avail. I thought it should have been simple but may be due to some issues (which I dont know) I am stuck

Things I did
Replaced jsf-ri-api.jar and jsf-ri-impl with that of myfaces-api.jar and myfaces-impl.jar and myfaces.extension.jar

Problem:
The myfaces extension tags are not recognized !
(shows compilation error)

My Questions
1) Is this an issue due to MyEclipse or some other ?
2) Why does MyEclipse puts tag library descriptor for eg. struts and JSF
under WEB_INF/ folder and not in META-INF/ or subdirectory of a tag
library packaged in a JAR which would have been simple ?
3) Which jar files of JSF gets copied during deployment ? MyFaces or
reference implementation ?
4) What are the steps needed to integrate MyFaces with MyEclipse 3.8.4
or have I missed something ? Can you give me one example of using
a component say (Calendar) from MyFaces ?
How does web.xml, myfaces-config.xml, faces-config.xml etc
integrate ? I tried several combination but to no avail

(I know another release is coming soon but anyway I would like to stick with 3.8.4 for sometime)

Good news! Our JSF tools in MyEclipse 4.0 will include MyFaces as an option. We’re expecting the public preview of 4.0Milestone1 in a few days, so maybe you could give the new toolset a spin and see how that goes? More information on 4.0 features and timing is in the “official” 4.0 thread here:

Hi Scott,
I tried it with MyEclipse 3.8.4 and MyFaces 1.0.9. It worked fine. Just need to watch some configurations issues in web.xml. I think support of MyFaces is a good thing in 4.0M1, but I dont think there should not be any issues since, MyFaces1.0.9 implementation is similar to RI from Sun.
