Chapter 2. Creating a Simple JSF Application

2.1. Setting Up the Project
2.2. JSF Configuration File

Firstly, we assume that you have already launched Eclipse with JBoss Tools plug-ins installed and also that the Web Development perspective is the current one. (If not, make it active by selecting Window > Open Perspective > Web Development from the menu bar or by selecting Window > Open Perspective > Other... from the menu bar and then selecting Web Development from the Select Perspective dialog box.)

Now we are going to create a new project for the application.
