JBOSS 7.1: Adding Primefaces support prevents deployment

Question

When I add the PrimeFaces jar to a typical Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse, I get the following error:

I've added commons-fileupload-1.2.1.jar as well as commons-io-1.4.jar. No idea what the problem could be. I've also referred to Error deploying Primefaces application on JBoss 7.1.0 and tried adding the "context-param" value to web.xml but to no avail.

It looks like you're missing the PrimeFaces dependency. Could you add the structure of your WAR? — James R. Perkins
@JamesR.Perkins It's a standard eclipse Dynamic Web Project. I've only added the PrimeFaces.jar, commons-fileupload-1.2.1.jar as well as commons-io-1.4.jar to the build path. That's all — Gaurav Sharma

I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was adding the JAR files(primefaces, commons-fileupload-1.2.1 and commons-io-1.4) by doing

Right click project->Build Path->Configure Build Path->Java Build Path and adding the JAR's there.

I needed to add them in ...->Configure Build Path->Deployment Assembly instead.

I guess I need to learn how to Eclipse :)
