Getting Started

In order to start with the project, you need just include the RichFaces JARs on the classpath using Maven dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.richfaces</groupId>
    <artifactId>richfaces</artifactId>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

or download the project ZIP distribution from Downloads Page.

Once you have the RichFaces JARs on the classpath, you can start developing by adding JSF page which includes RichFaces taglib from http://richfaces.org/rich namespace:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"
	xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
	...
	xmlns:r="http://richfaces.org/rich">

</html>

For more information on how to get started with the project, see Project Documentation.

Building the Project

Prerequsities:

  • JDK 1.6 +
  • Maven 3.0.4 +

Building the project:

$ mvn clean install

Maven will build the project and execute unit tests, but it won't build distribution or execute integration tests.

Building Project Distribution

$ mvn clean install -Prelease

the ZIP distribution will be stored in dist/target/.

Developing the Project

How to Test the Project

RichFaces has extensive framework test suite which validates compatibility with various browsers and application servers.

For more information on how to run and develop this test suite, see Framework Tests document.

Running Smoke Tests

In order to effectively test the project with each code modification, you need to run at least framework's smoke tests:

$ mvn clean install -Dintegration=jbossas71 -Dsmoke

This will run the project tests against managed instance of JBoss AS 7.1 and test it on headless PhantomJS browser.

This step is also executed in the continuous integration job.
