I have a maven project, and then, i would like to enable JSF 2 facet into the project, because i realized that i cant do the auto completion with the jsf / primefaces tags and with the tag attributes with the ctrl space when editing my jsf page.

Enabling the JSF 2 facet in my Helios eclipse results in NullPointerException, with this complete exception trace :

What could be wrong here .. or ..

Perhaps there is some other ways to enable the auto completion without adding the dynamic web module and jsf 2 facets in the Eclipse Helios ?

I’ve found the solution/workaround myself. I just delete the project, re-import it as a maven project, added the facets and finally everything is fine now.

Thanks! Very happy now. Hopefully this could help others also.
