When adding the JSF facet to a maven project having filtered web resources, faces-config.xml is created in target/m2e/web-resources/WEB-INF

      If a maven project uses web resource filtering and is referencing JSF libraries, then, during the JSF Facet installation, org.eclipse.jst.jsf.core.internal.project.facet.JSFFacetInstallDelegate will create the faces-config.xml file in the first resource folder found in .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component, for instance :

       
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project-modules id="moduleCoreId" project-version="1.5.0">
    <wb-module deploy-name="simple-jsf">
        <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/target/m2e-wtp/web-resources"/>
        <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/src/main/webapp"/>
        <wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/src/main/java"/>
        <wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/src/main/resources"/>
        <property name="context-root" value="simple-jsf"/>
        <property name="java-output-path" value="/simple-jsf/target/classes"/>
    </wb-module>
</project-modules>

      -> target/m2e-wtp/web-resources/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml

      target/ is a derived folder (at least in m2e-core 0.13), and faces-config.xml belongs to the source folders.

      The code responsible for this is 

      private IPath resolveConfigPath(final IProject project, final String jsfConfigPath) {
  return ComponentCore.createComponent(project).getRootFolder()
			.getUnderlyingFolder().getRawLocation().append(
						new Path(jsfConfigPath));
}

      Obviously, we'd need to fix it upstream. Until that happens, if it happens one day, we can take the WDD (Workaround Driven Development) route :

      • either we try putting the correct source folder first, if needed, before adding the facet, then reverting the change once the JSF facet is added.
      • check if the faces-config.xml file has been created under target/m2e-wtp/web-resources/WEB-INF/ and move it back to src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/

      First solution seems really gross. I'm inclined to implement the 2nd one.
