Getting started with JSF - Richfaces on Eclipse

I used to work with JSF - Richfaces but had no idea of how to start it an开发者_Go百科d I quit before I learned it.

Is there any easy way to start? What do I need to add. Like splitting projects into 4 or so and what server to use, etc.

You can also find many RichFaces resources on my blog: http://mkblog.exadel.com/tag/richfaces-howto/, including this project template: http://mkblog.exadel.com/2010/04/the-easiest-way-to-start-with-richfaces/

Here is hello world and Practical Richfaces

But I suggest you to use Primefaces. I think primefaces is the best among jsf components because of its ajax and ui facilities

although I don't have a tutorial to suggest to you, I would recommend when experimenting with Richfaces components, to look them up in the live demo, where code snippets and examples are shown. For each component you can find additional information in the "Developer Guide" link in the upper left corner.

As far as Eclipse is concerned and since you are using Richfaces, I would definitely use install the JBoss Tools plugin, which has handy features, such as auto-complete, visual editing etc.
