JSF Mapping with Maven - starting using maven - jsf

Question

hope you had a great day
For a few days I am trying to learn using Maven - cause I have heard that its good practice to create my projects with it.
And so what I did. Maven is quite difficult for my present abilities. Now I am trying to create JSF page and 've got problem with mapping. Maven has created a simple web.xml for me, its almost empty (it has just tag and its closed too). I have added JSF depenedency and made simple a.xhtml page with one button and text field. If I run it, it works fine. But If I enter some changes in web.xml - I would add mapping for *.jsf *.faces *.xhtml etc. it wont work anymore. I am sick about it, have no idea how to fix it.
Here is my present code:
pom.xml:

Wow, I have fixed it. The problem was in pom.xml, I had to add those dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
<artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
<version>2.2.4</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
<artifactId>jsf-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.2.4</version>
</dependency>
And all mappings and rendering JSF components(which hasnt been working as well) are fine now
Thanks and have a good day
