I think this is out of "JBoss Developer Materials" scope at this moment. This issue maybe be solved with a Richfaces Getting Started tutorial ( http://docs.jboss.org/richfaces/latest_4_5_X/Developer_Guide/en-US/html_single/#sect-Developer_Guide-Getting_started_with_RichFaces-Setting_up_RichFaces ) than JBoss Developer materials itself.
