Description softmetz 2016-01-05 11:15:23 UTC

I have a maven project with the structure

1) src/main/webresources
2) src/main/webapp

In 1) is the web.xml with placeholders to be filtered by maven. One parameter I set is javax.faces.WEBAPP_RESOURCES_DIRECTORY to /WEB-INF/resources.

2) contains my web application. 

I created /WEB-INF/resources/some/comp.xhtml (by hand since the wizzard tries to force me into /resources!) and created some client XHTML that uses the component. Runtime works fine, but Netbeans complains about the library missing.

If i create a symbolic link from /WEB-INF/resources to /resources Netbeans works like charm.

I am not sure if filtering the web.xml has to do something with my problem but AFAIK netbeans doesn't get or ignore a custom resource directory when it comes to composite components.

Please can you provide a sample project? I'm not sure I understand the layout.
