I'm trying to switch to using the NetBeans IDE. Very nice, but...

I create a project and select the Struts framework out of the four
available. It creates the project. Then I look at the project
properties, and it has both Struts and JavaServer Faces activated! I
could add more frameworks if I wanted, but there seems to be no way to
get rid of one.

So what? When I build the project and deploy the resulting WAR to
WebLogic, it throws this:

Failed to initialize the application 'NCS' due to error
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentTag.

Nothing in my app mentions that class or anything in javax.faces.*.

The weird thing is that when I examine the WAR file, there's nothing
there except what I want. There's nothing referencing JSF at all. So
why is WL looking for that class?

No JSF specific XML configuration files at all? Must be something...

Also, look in the web.xml to make sure it isn't including

<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

But you're right, NB seems addicted to including JSF in Web apps, but
I sure don't know why. It's less of a problem for me because I'm
using JSF.

The answer I suspect to be buried in the nbprojects/ metadata
somewhere.

Been there, done that.

Big PITA. It's there immediately after I create the project, before
I've done ANYTHING to it.

I've looked there. I find references to Struts in build-impl.xml, but
I don't see anything about JSF. It's a long file, I've run (case
insensitive) text searches on "face", "javax", "jsf".

Hmm..the first line in project.properties is:

auxiliary.org-netbeans-modules-projectapi.jsf_2e_present=true

Seems unlikely, but you never know.

It seems that when I ask NetBeans for Struts support, it throws in a
whole list of Struts JAR files. One of those is
struts-faces-1.3.8.jar, that must be where the reference to
UIComponentTag is. I guess that the NetBeans IDE finds that reference
and shows Faces support in the project options dialog.

So I have NB show the list of JARs. I right-click struts-faces, and
select "Remove" and the entire list of Struts libraries disappears. I
guess there must be a way to control that somewhere. If nothing else,
I can just remove that library from the WAR before I deploy it.
