Question

Answer 1

If you use Netbeans you can search for the library javax.faces.jar in the same folder of this application, you may find it in a folder like this: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.3.1\enterprise\modules\ext\jsf-2_2.

Now, right click on yourProject/libraries in Netbeans then choose Add JAR/Folder... command to add javax.faces.jar file.

Adding javax.faces.jar library

From the same popup menu you can use Add Library and add Java EE from GlassFish

Good luck.
