Adding Richfaces to a Maven Project being Deployed to JBoss AS 6 - maven-2

Question

I'm having trouble with adding Richfaces to my Maven project, which is deploying to JBoss AS 6. Here is my pom.xml

Here are the, hopefully, more relevant portions of the stack trace (too big to put it all in here.)

Answer 1

You have several corrupted JARs that can't be opened, namely richfaces-core-impl-4.0.0.20100715-M1.jar and richfaces-components-ui-4.0.0.20100715-M1.jar. Try to delete them from your local repository and to redownload them.

Answer 2

Apparently this is a bug in JBossAS6.M3. https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8024
Upgrading to JBossAS6.M4 solves the problem (but, naturally, introduces new ones. ;)
