Eclipse doesn't have "Project facets" after install of JBoss WTP adapter

Question

I'm trying to use project facets in Eclipse but the "project facets" section under "project -> properties" is gone. I noticed this when switching to Eclipse Juno from Eclipse Indigo. I thought this was related to Juno, so I switched back to Indigo, only to find the "project facets" were gone there too. I tried both versions as a fresh install and with a clean workspace.

Searching the web for this issue only came up with "go to 'project -> properties -> project facets'", but this simply isn't possible.

UPDATE:

I managed to break it down. The facet related stuff disappears after I installed the "JBossAS Tools" package from the JBoss update site (http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/juno/).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Eclipse Juno (4.2.0)
2. Install project facets from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
   1. Under "Modeling": "EMF Facet SDK (Incubation)"
   2. Under "Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development": "Eclipse Faceted Project Framework"
3. After a restart see that Eclipse has possibility to create a faceted project (File -> New -> Other -> Faceted Project)
4. Install "JBossAS Tools" from http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/juno/
5. Restart, check for faceted things, aaand it's gone.

Answer 1

I installed the "JBossAS Tools" package from the nightly built update site. This didn't cause problems regarding project facets.

Answer 2

This might depend on which install of eclipse you are using. In any case, you can download the needed packages to get Facets working.

Facets are part of the Web Tools Platform. If you can't find it in the package manager, you can download it here:

Answer 3

You should create your Eclipse project using File / New / Project... / General / Faceted Project wizard or use project's popup menu Configure / Convert to Faceted From....
