History

The initial development of PrimeFaces was started in late 2008.[4] Predecessor of PrimeFaces is the YUI4JSF library,[5] a set of JSF components based on YUI JavaScript library. YUI4JSF got cancelled [6] in favor of PrimeFaces in early 2009.

Since its release, PrimeFaces has been strongly supported by Oracle, particularly within the NetBeans world.[7]
