so, does this mean, that your project depends upon JSF? if so, the artifact "javax.faces:jsf-api" - as found in maven's central repository - can't actually be downloaded. Reason is, there's just a placeholder POM in the repo because of license considerations. this thought, the jsf-library shouldn't be referenced by eclipse either. If it does, does eclipse reference to a jar in your local maven repo or somewhere else?

the eclipse-plugin might have told you, to download the jsf-api.jar manually, because that JAR can't be found in the global repository. you might have a second look on the eclipse-plugin's output. just my 2c - may be, I'm misleaded Stefan
