Creating a jsf application with maven without IDE - jsf

Question

What I want to do is to setup a JSF application without using any IDE to fully understand what is going on.
This is what I have done so far:
I created a directory (D:\Project\MyMavenProject) and added a pom.xml:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.maxheapsize</groupId>
<artifactId>jsf2demo</artifactId>
<packaging>war</packaging>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<name>jsf2demo Maven Webapp</name>
<url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
<artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0-b13</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
<artifactId>jsf-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0-b13</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<finalName>jsf2demo</finalName>
</build>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>maven2-repository.dev.java.net</id>
<name>Java.net Repository for Maven</name>
<url>http://download.java.net/maven/2</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
</project>
and when I say from commandline:
mvn verify
I get build error. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

http://download.java.net/maven/2/javax/servlet/
You repository does not have dependencies for servlet-api or jstl
You can use http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 respository which contains both jstl and servlet-api versions you are looking for,
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>maven2-repository.dev.java.net</id>
<name>Java.net Repository for Maven</name>
<url>http://download.java.net/maven/2</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>maven2-central</id>
<name>Maven Central</name>
<url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Also as I see from other post that you don't have your project directories created ,
You can use maven archetypes to create a project without IDE
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.maxheapsize
-DartifactId=jsf2demo
-Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp
-DinteractiveMode=false
List of available archetypes can be found here
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-archetypes.html

Answer 2

It sounds like you are specifying only one repository which does not contains all the required depe ndency for your jsf dependency. I think you should try pointing ALSO to the maven central repository.
It seems that the java repo you are referring does not contain servlet-api for example which is required by your jsf pom.
