Configure richfaces in IDE

[alexrozario]

hi all.

My project environment is,
Oracle+EJB3.0+Seam+JSF+Facelet+Richfaces in JBOSS 4.2GA server
And i am using Eclipse3.3 IDE

well.
Here i want to use DataFilterSliderEvent class of richfaces library for DataFilterSlider.
For that i need to configure richfaces in Eclipse.

How to configure richfaces in Eclipse IDE.

Can you please guide me.

I think it should be enough, when you configure it in your build-path in eclipse (include the richfaces-lib with the function "add external jar").

Thank you for your response Moldovan.

Let me explain briefly,

I have used richfaces in my View part
I am using richfaces components in xhtml(facelet) file by including xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.ajax4jsf.org/rich" in composition.

but using DataFilterSliderEvent(richfaces class) in my ejb file it shows an error message. it doesn't see richfaces lib, which i had in lib folder.
Then i add classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/richfaces-3.0.1.jar" in Classpath file. then it doesn't shows an error while compile stage.

But it shows an error while building as java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/richfaces/event/DataFilterSliderEvent.

I think, i had configured in my build path as you said.

Now i must need help.

PLEASE help me.

What i have to do now.

I repeat:
Import of the class DataFilterSliderEvent is ok, eclipse shows no error, but in the building-process you get an NoClassDefFoundError.
So, if i have you understood wright?:

Are you using ant-build for building the webapp?
When yes, what does your build.xml-File looks like?

[alexrozario]

thank you again,

No i have used to build the project from IDE itself.
But, after your suggestion, i have build it using ant-build.

Unfortunately now also i have same issue.

I have attached my build.xml file with it.
