The following chapters describe how to deal with classic/old style of JSF development. We recommend users to use JBoss Seam to simplify development, but until then you can read about classical JSF usage here.

Thus, in this document we are going to show you how to create a simple JSF application using JBoss Tools plugins for Eclipse. The completed application will ask a user to enter a name and click a button. The resulting new page will display the familiar message, "Hello <name>!" This tutorial will show you how to create and run such an application from the beginning along the way demonstrating some of the powerful features of JBoss Tools.
