RichFaces faces-config.xml Declaration Errors

Question

I am at the throes of learning RichFaces and JSF 2.X. I am using a tutorial here and Eclipse marks the faces-config declaration

<faces-config 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-facesconfig_1_2.xsd" 
version="1.2">

in error

Multiple markers at this line

Attribute "xmlns:xsi" must be declared for element type "faces-config".
Attribute "xmlns" with value "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" must have a value of "http://java.sun.com/JSF/Configuration".
Attribute "version" must be declared for element type "faces-config".
Attribute "xsi:schemaLocation" must be declared for element type "faces-config".

I know I am out of my depth here and have attempted to ascertain a fix for this. Am I missing declarations? Forget to include something?

It'll be easier if you will create JSF project directly in Eclipse or use maven archetypes. BTW. If you can DO NOT use RF 3.X it is deprecated from over 6 years. BTW2. Can't you tell that something is wrong if you 'are using' JSF 2.X, but adding version="1.2" to faces-config? — Emil Sierżęga
Basically, it's a big difference between 1.X and 2.X and there is a difference in namespace between 2.0-1.X and 2.2.X. Your problem has anything to do with RichFaces, so if you lack of the JSF's tutorials, then read documentation on SO: stackoverflow.com/documentation/jsf/916/…. Adding RichFaces will be easy after. — Emil Sierżęga

For JSF 2.1, faces-config.xml should look like below -

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <faces-config 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-facesconfig_2_1.xsd"
          version="2.1">


    </faces-config>

And for JSF 2.2, faces-config.xml is changed -

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <faces-config xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee 
            http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_2.xsd"
            version="2.2">

       </faces-config>
