Netbeans 6.8 JSF2 web applications

[padjester]

Hello

I am running Netbeans 6.8 and would like to create a JSF 2.0 web application. When I create a new web application and must choose the java ee version I only get options JAVA EE5 and J2EE 1.4.

I understand that JSF 2.0 applications require JAVA EE6. I also understand that Netbeans 6.8 supports JAVA EE6, why am I unable to choose JAVA EE6?

Please can somebody help me urgently, as I have been banging my head on this issue and can not figure it out.

Kind regards

Have a look at Tools -> Java Platforms (here you have to add your needed
version)

Hi Troy

Thank you for the reply.

I am using Tomcat 6.0.20, would you know if it is JAVA EE6 compatible?

Kind regards

JSF 2 doesn't necessarily require J2EE 6. You can select Tomcat as your
server. You just won't be able to use all of the J2EE 6 features like
annotations and dependency injection.

If you want to use the new expression language features with Tomcat,
you'll need to include the EL jars in your project.
