Netbeans JSF Palette - jsf

Ok, I have been trying to find answer for two days now. I created new Web Application and added JSF framework to it. But when I opened a palette I can see only few tags to be dragged and dropped. I can see HTML, HTML Forms and JSF categories with only about five tags in each. Do I have to add some library or something? Thank you for help.

You better get rid of Netbeans JSF palette when adding components to your page. Writing directly on the page you will be more productive because you have code completion assistance. If you look at the JSF palette it is like a set of squeleton generators more than an exhaustive components set. So basically I would use, perhaps, only the JSF Data Table [From Entity] palette item.

JSF 'TAGS' Component

I know the title is slightly misleading but I can't think of a better one right now!
Im looking for a JSF component that offers the same functionality as the 'Tags' bar used here on stackoverflow when you ask a question.
Its basically a text field that is linked to a List where the list values are separated by a space. I know Primefaces offers a 'Tag Cloud' component but thats really not what I'm looking for.
NB. If no such component exists I'm happy to go ahead and try and create one if somebody could point me to some good tutorials on creating custom JSF components.
It was right under my nose all along.

How to display "Loading.." while switching tabs

I'm interested is it possible to create tabs with Primefaces using this example?
The idea is to create dynamically loaded tabs and when I switch between pages to display "Loading" at the top right of the page. What are the usual ways is this case?
The example you reference in your question carries the answer to the question. Generally, you have two options
Primefaces ajaxStatus component is designed specifically for your use case and is also the same component used in the dynamic tab sample you linked (albeit the PF team neglected to reference/declare it in the sample markup for that example). It's the same component that is used to generate the "loading" pinwheel you see in that example
A more powerful/exotic option is the blockUi component that will achieve the same effect, albeit with a little more in terms of options and visual effect.

jsf popupwindow with a datatable

I have a form which one of it's fields is a code and description, also a button for opening a popup window that contains a list of all of the available codes.
when the user double clickes a row from that table i want to set these values to the code and description. - how can this be done?
Another question, I want to create this popup and table to be initialized dynamically - by that i mean that if i have a few forms in my application, when ever i have a field which has a description i want to be able to open this popup and to see the available list for that field. (every field can be from a diffrent table). is it possible to create something like that? if so, how?
Any help will be appritiated,
Thank's In Advance.
Yes, it is possible. Even more, many component libraries have ready to use popup/dialog components, such as RichFaces with <rich:popupPanel> and PrimeFaces with <p:dialog>.
If you do not want to use a component library for some reason, you would need to create a custom component for this which generates basically an absolutely positioned HTML <div> element with a CSS overlay which get shown/hidden by JS on a particular click/action. The HTML/CSS/JS part should be relatively simple if you are familiar with those languages. The JSF part is somewhat hard if you have never created a custom component before, but it should be possible with a composite component as well, so you could also just create one with pure XHTML. The updating/refreshing can just take place by the usual <f:ajax> means.

Desktop-like jsf-web-application

I want to create a desktop-like application with JSF 2.0 and Primefaces 2.2.1
I created a main Layout with two divs, the upper div containing a menubar with several submenus. When the user chooses a menuitem, I want to show the spezifyed xhtml page in the bottom div of my main layout, without loading the full page. So I am thinking of Ajax to do it. But I don't know how to realize it.
And by the way, is there a chance to change a p:menubar or a p:submenu by javascript?
Can someone help me?
At the risk of being down-voted, may I suggest that since it sounds like you're at the beginning of your project, you should consider a framework other than JSF 2.0 because it sounds like you're shoe-horning. GWT is the most obvious candidate. If you're used to desktop app development (especially in Java), Vaadin is another great candidate.

how to create graphs in jsf?

Can anyone give details about creating graphs like bars and lines in jsf ? which one is best ? I want graphs by taking data from database dynamically and should work offline.I want each and every
step of installation and execution.please reply.
Have a look for component libraries which offers graph (chart) components.
For example PrimeFaces (demo) and OpenFaces (demo).
