am having a problem configuring tomcat with richfaces. I copied the:
richfaces-components-ui-4.2.2.Final.jar
richfaces-components-api-4.2.2.Final.jar
richfaces-core-api-4.2.2.Final.jar
richfaces-core-impl-4.2.2.Final.jar
jars into tomcat’s \lib and restarted my server. The definition of my xhtml page looks like this:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich">
But eclipse generates a warning which says
NSL missing: CANNOT_FIND_FACELET_TAGLIB in : org.eclipse.jst.jsf.core.validation.internal.facelet.messages
Is there any other thing I need to configure? I skimmed a lot of tutorials but almost all uses JBoss. Is there a way to configure richfaces with my eclipse and tomcat?
Edited
When I add the jars as external jars, and add the dependencies too, it does not crash the site,though in the console it produces a this:

Which I assume is because some libraries are missing

I also tried tomahawk lib, but I removed it and cleaned the project. I tried this example to test richface but there is nothing displayed.
The console message still remains valid, even though I don’t have any reference to tomahawk neither I have it in my buildpath and the project and server is clean. I also tried to add to the buildpath myfaces-impl.jar, does not help. The same console messages come up.
That’s because you placed the RichFaces libraries in Tomcat instead of in webapp itself. Those libraries are supposed to be placed in webapp’s own
/WEB-INF/lib. Otherwise you need to add the RichFaces libraries to the server-supplied libraries in Eclipse project buildpath settings. Eclipse namely doesn’t expect that you modify the default libraries of Tomcat.Those are just INFO messages, not WARNING messages. This is specific to MyFaces and those are just to inform the developer/serveradmin what actions MyFaces has taken as to setting some applicationwide parameters. Just ignore them. Only once you get a WARNING, SEVERE, ERROR or FATAL, then you may start worrying. You do not necessarily need Tomahawk.
