The best way i started with Richfaces 4 was to seach for it along with the keywords example or tutorial.

Here is what i added to my pom.xml to pull in the dependecies in maven.

<properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <org.richfaces.version>4.1.0.20111014-M3</org.richfaces.version>
    </properties>
<dependencyManagement>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.richfaces</groupId>
                <artifactId>richfaces-bom</artifactId>
                <version>${org.richfaces.version}</version>
                <scope>import</scope>
                <type>pom</type>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </dependencyManagement>
<dependency>
            <groupId>org.richfaces.ui</groupId>
            <artifactId>richfaces-components-ui</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.richfaces.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>richfaces-core-impl</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.javax.faces</groupId>

        </dependency>
        <dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
            <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>

As for the faces-config.xml and web.xml, i didn't touch those yet, i defined the managed beans using annotations.

I would make sure you use the jboss tools for eclipse which helps when editing the config files.

it still not working
I don't know what to do
richfaces 3.x is working good
but when I update libs to richfaces 4.x or create new app doesn't work

[motaz.emad]

I don't know how what is maven, I didn't try to use it, how to build webb app using richfaces without maven ?

I may send for You source code for example by e-mail

Well, for myself, I just installed eclipse + glassfish plugin, set up the glassfish install and the plugin. Then I made a project with JSF 2 facet and installed mojarra jsf when prompted.

After that I just dropped the required libs in WEB-INF/lib folder and all worked.

[motaz.emad]

WELL, WOW it works finally on glassfish
but on tomcat 7 it still doesn't work
so I will deploy on glassfish
and finally happily I can start development
thanks very mush
