How to install PrimeFaces from maven in Netbeans? I get warning that taglibrary http://primefaces.org/ui does not exist

Question

I tested to deploy this example from PrimeFaces.

I don't know why it's not working. I get this error message:

Warning: This page calls for xml namespace http://primefaces.org/ui declared with prefix p but no taglibtrary exist for that namespace

I follow this tutorial to properly install the jar. I downloaded the Primefaces jar file and I added it to the resources directory into the WAR file.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.primefaces</groupId>
        <artifactId>primefaces</artifactId>
        <version>3.3</version>
        <type>jar</type>
    </dependency>

I also added the Primefaces.jar file into Glassfish's /modules directory and I added the name of the module into default-web.xml file. It's not working.

What am I missing?

EDIT 2 I was correct the POM file is the problem:

            <layout>default</layout>  
        </repository>  
    </repositories>
    <description>Module History Module</description>
</project>

These lines must be added in order Primefaces to works:

<instructions>
    <!-- Read all OSGi configuration info from this optional file -->
    <_include>-osgi.properties</_include>
    <!-- By default, we don't export anything -->
    <Export-Package>!*.impl.*, *</Export-Package>
    <DynamicImport-Package>javax.*, org.*, com.sun.faces.*</DynamicImport-Package>
    <Import-Package>*;resolution:=optional</Import-Package>
    <Embed-Dependency>*;scope=compile|runtime;inline=false</Embed-Dependency>
    <Embed-Transitive>true</Embed-Transitive>
    <Embed-Directory>WEB-INF/lib</Embed-Directory>
    <Embed-StripVersion>false</Embed-StripVersion>
    <Embed-StripGroup>true</Embed-StripGroup>
    <Bundle-ClassPath>.,WEB-INF/classes</Bundle-ClassPath>
</instructions>

But I noticed very strange problem. I can use for example simple PrimeFaces tags without managedbeans for example <p:spinner> but if I want to use tags with managed beans the beans are not found. Maybe they are not visible?

You said "I downloaded the Primefaces jar file and I added it to the resources directory into the WAR file". It should be added to WEB-INF/lib directory, shouldn't it? Primefaces resources are loaded from the jar. If you are using Maven to generate your WAR file shouldn't it copy the dependencies to your WEB-INF/lib by default? Have you opened the maven generated WAR file to see if WEB-INF/lib directory have all the expected libraries? Try it with maven-war-plugin version 2.2 to see if it's a version issue. Sorry for so many questions on this comment. — Flavio Cysne

1. I added as dependency Primefaces into the POM file. I build the WAR package. Then I unzip the content of the package. Primefaces is there - WEB-INF/lib 2. I updated the version of the maven-war-plugin - again not result — user1285928

I just followed the steps from Primefaces download guide:

http://primefaces.org/downloads.html

Downloading with Maven

PrimeFaces distributions are deployed at the PrimeFaces Repository, to let maven aware of this repository, add the following repository definition to your pom.xml in repositories section.

<repository>  
  <id>prime-repo</id>  
  <name>PrimeFaces Maven Repository</name>  
  <url>http://repository.primefaces.org</url>  
  <layout>default</layout>  
</repository>

And add the dependency configuration as;

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.primefaces</groupId>
  <artifactId>primefaces</artifactId>
  <version>3.3</version>
</dependency>

After that, I added the Primefaces repository to my Nexus installation and it worked as expected.

I hope it helps you!

Based on information in deleted answers on this question, OP has the repo in his pom already (only OP didn't think about updating his question with this information). Note that OP has edited his question that he found the possible culprit already, if he removes that <build> entry, then it works fine for him. If you are familiar with Maven, you might want to edit your answer to explain that <build> entry problem instead.
