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
