Templating for JavaServer™ Faces Technology works with JavaServer™ Faces to make building pages and components easier.

1. Obtain the files.
2. Start creating pages (follow the Page Tutorial).

• A Java EE Application Server. GlassFish is recommended (provides JSF 1.2 environment out-of-the-box). The Java EE 5 SDK uses GlassFish and is production quality, free (for development AND deployment), tested and stable. Tomcat or other servers work without much extra effort.
• JavaServer™ Faces 1.1 or better. JavaServer™ Faces 1.2 is highly recommended. If you have GlassFish (or the Java EE 5 SDK), you already have JavaServer™ Faces 1.2 installed.

• Join the #JSFTemplating IRC channel at irc.freenode.net. This is great resource if you have a quick question, or just want to know how to get started. It is also the best place to find the JSFTemplating developers and to get involved in helping JSFTemplating.
