PrimeFaces is a open source User Interface (UI) component library for JavaServer Faces (JSF) based applications, created by PrimeTek, Turkey.
History
The initial development of PrimeFaces was started in late 2008.[3] Predecessor of PrimeFaces is the YUI4JSF library, a set of JSF components based on YUI JavaScript library. YUI4JSF got cancelled [4] in favor of PrimeFaces in early 2009.
Since its release, PrimeFaces has been strongly supported by Oracle, particularly within the NetBeans world.[5]
