1. Configuration summary is posted at end of this message.

2. Background: Instead of faces-config.xml, the JSF configuration file is specified as examples-config.xml in the web.xml file.

3. When clicking on the examples-config.xml in order to edit it, the following error occurs:

Unable to create this part due to an internal error. Reason for the failure: Project ‘MojoClient’ is not configured as a MyEclipse Web-JSF Project. Therefore the MyEclipse JSF Config Editor may not be used with examples-config.xml. The default XML Editor has been used to open the file instead.

The log spew is:

org.eclipse.ui.PartInitException: Project ‘MojoClient’ is not configured as a MyEclipse Web-JSF Project. Therefore the MyEclipse JSF Config Editor may not be used with examples-config.xml. The default XML Editor has been used to open the file instead.

etc.

4. When I right click on the project -> myEclipse to add JSF capabilities, the menu item to add the JSF capabilities is not there. There are other frameworks to add (Spring, Hibernate, etc.) but not JSF.

5. Just for fun, I created a bogus project, right clicked on it, then myEclipse, and the JSF capabilities are there to add for this project.

6. This project was created by another developer that is no longer here. I don’t believe the developer used myEclipse to set this up. How do I repair?

Thank you for the detailed post.

First let me say that it’s possible this project isn’t even a web project. Right click on it and look under MyEclipse, do you see “Add Web Capabilities”? If so, that is the first step, then you will be able to add JSF capabilities.

Hello –

When you say “Add Web Capabilities”, do you mean “WebProject Capabilities”?

When I right click on the project, then click on MyEclipse, this is all that I see:

Add and Remove Project Deployments
—
Add Spring Capabilities
Add WebProject Capabilities
Add Hibernate Capabilities
—
Run XDoclet
—
Open in Explorer
—
Run Validation
Remove All Validation Markers

Thank you for your timely response.

Yes that’s exactly right, I typed it wrong. You need to add those first.
