Maven Java EE Configuration Marker with Java Server Faces 1.2

Question

I'm having a weird configuration problem with Maven in Eclipse. Although I can build the project and deploy it to tomcat without any errors, The Marker tab keeps showing the following message:

[-] Maven Java EE Configuration Problem
(x) JavaServer Faces 1.2 can not be installed : One or more constraints have not been satisfied.
(x) JavaServer Faces 1.2 requires Dynamic Web Module 2.5 or newer.

I am in fact using Dynamic Web Module 2.4, which would be the source of the message. I would need to change it to at least 2.5 to work with JSF. Problem is, I'm not even using JSF.

So, probably one of the project's dependencies needs it. I ran the following command to find out the dependency tree for my project:

mvn dependency:tree -DoutputFile=<i>/path/to/outputFile/dependencies.txt</i>

and surprise! No JSF 1.2 mentioned.

EDIT Forgot to add my PC setup:

OS: Ubuntu 12.10

Eclipse: 4.2 SR1

Java: jdk1.5.0_22 and jdk1.7

Apache Maven: 3.0.4

Maven home: /usr/share/maven

m2e: 1.3.1.20130219-1424

m2e-wtp: 0.17.0.20130212-1821

None of my co-workers are having this issue. Two of them use Windows, two use Ubuntu 12.10. One of them uses Eclipse 4.2, others use Eclipse 3.7. So apparently this is either has to do with 4.2SR1 or with my project setup. But I can't find where the problem is.

Here's my pom.xml file:

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. After adding velocity dependencies in my maven project i was getting the same error in marker tab. Then I noticed that the web.xml file that maven project creates has servlet2.3 schema. When i changed it to servlet 3.0 schema and save the project then this error gone. Here is the web.xml file that maven creates

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
 "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd" >

<web-app>
    <display-name>Archetype Created Web Application</display-name>
</web-app>

Change it to

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
                        http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
                        version="3.0">
    <display-name>Archetype Created Web Application</display-name>

</web-app>

save the project, and your error would gone.

After that if markers tab is still showing message then Select the project. Do mouse right click. Select Maven --> Update Project.

Hopefully error would be gone then.

Thanks

Answer 2

I too had the same problem.

The solution for me was to add following in the pom.xml as suggested here.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.0.2</version>
            <configuration>
                <source>1.7</source>
                <target>1.7</target>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Answer 3

I had a similar problem. I was working on a project where I did not control the web.xml configuration file, so I could not use the changes suggested about altering the version. Of course the project was not using JSF so this was especially annoying for me.

I found that there is a really simple fix. Go to Preferences > Maven > Java EE Itegration and uncheck the "JSF Configurator" box.

I did this in a fresh workspace before importing the project again, but it may work equally as well on an existing project ... not sure.

Answer 4

I have encountered this with Maven projects too. This is what I had to do to get around the problem:

First update your web.xml

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
                    http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
                    version="3.0">
<display-name>Servlet 3.0 Web Application</display-name>

Then right click on your project and select Properties -> Project Facets In there you will see the version of your Dynamic Web Module. This needs to change from version 2.3 or whatever to version 2.5 or above (I chose 3.0).

However to do this I had to uncheck the tick box for Dynamic Web Module -> Apply, then do a Maven Update on the project. Go back into the Project Facets window and it should already match your web.xml configuration - 3.0 in my case. You should be able to change it if not.

If this does not work for you then try right-clicking on the Dynamic Web Module Facet and select change version (and ensure it is not locked).

Or you can follow this steps:

1. Window > Show View > Other > General > navigator
2. There is a .settings folder under your project directory
3. Change the dynamic web module version in this line to 3.0

After changing lots in my POM and updating my JDK I was getting the "One or more constraints have not been satisfied" related to Google App Engine. The solution was to delete the Eclipse project settings and reimport it.

On OS X, I did this in Terminal by changing to the project directory and

rm -rf .project
rm -rf .settings

Answer 6

You should check your project facets in the project configuration. This is where you may uncheck the JSF dependency.

Answer 7

The m2e plugin generate project configuration every time when you update project (Maven->Update Project ... That action overrides facets setting configured manually in Eclipse. Therefore you have to configure it on pom level. By setting properties in pom file you can tell m2e plugin what to do.

Enable/Disable the JAX-RS/JPA/JSF Configurators at the pom.xml level The optional JAX-RS, JPA and JSF configurators can be enabled or disabled at a workspace level from Window > Preferences > Maven > Java EE Integration. Now, you can have a finer grain control on these configurators directly from your pom.xml properties :

Adding false in your pom properties section will disable the JAX-RS configurator Adding false in your pom properties section will disable the JPA configurator Adding false in your pom properties section will disable the JSF configurator The pom settings always override the workspace preferences. So if you have, for instance the JPA configurator disabled at the workspace level, using true will enable it on your project anyway. (http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E-WTP/New_and_Noteworthy/1.0.0)

Eclipse is buggy on factes screen and at times doesn't update the config files in workspace. There are two options one can try :

1. Go to org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml file located inside .settings folder of eclipse project. Go and manually delete the JSF facet entry. you can also update other facets as well.

2. Right click project and go to properties->Maven-->Java EE Integeration. choose options : enable project specific settings, Enable Java EE configuration, Maven archiver generates files under the build directory

This is an older thread,but I will post my answer for others. I have to recreate the project in a different workspace after the changes to make it work, as discussed in JavaServer Faces 2.2 requires Dynamic Web Module 2.5 or newer

Here while on Updating Project Maven will automatically chooses the Dynamic web module
