History
The initial development of PrimeFaces was started in late 2008.[3] Predecessor of PrimeFaces is the
YUI4JSF (http://sourceforge.net/p/yui4jsf/wiki/Home/) 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]
