Has anyone else encountered this issue when compiling with maven?

probably you tried to create/access the RF component instance in your code. then you need to add

<dependency>
     <groupId>org.richfaces.cdk</groupId>
     <artifactId>annotations</artifactId>
     <scope>provided</scope>
     <version>4.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

to your application pom.xml.

I already added that to readme and wiki page with maven settings.

B.t.w. in future please add more info about environment. I realized that it's a problem in RF 4 only because encountered the same one yesterday

That worked! Although I needed to change the version from 4.0-SNAPSHOT to ${org.richfaces.ui.version} which is specified as

<org.richfaces.ui.version>4.0.0.20100715-M1</org.richfaces.ui.version>

Wow! That saved me a huge amount of time.

Thank you again.
