Summary

Well done. You made it to the end of the first chapter with a working project and learned the repeatable steps that are required to create any PrimeFaces JSF web project using Maven.

In this chapter, we have successfully created a NetBeans Maven web project using the new project wizard, added the JSF framework to the project by adjusting the Project Properties, added the PrimeFaces component library as a dependency using Maven, added additional libraries as dependencies using Maven, and finally ran the project in GlassFish and viewed the start page of the application in a browser.

These steps are always the first steps that we need to take when creating a new PrimeFaces and JSF-based web application. Because of this, I felt that it's important that the first chapter of this book is devoted to this rather than the more fun things that we will be getting into later in the book.
