History

The initial development of PrimeFaces was started in late 2008.{{cite web|url=https://code.google.com/p/primefaces/source/detail?r=1|title=Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.|publisher=|accessdate=30 July 2016}} Predecessor of PrimeFaces is the YUI4JSF library,[http://sourceforge.net/p/yui4jsf/wiki/Home/ YUI4JSF] a set of JSF components based on YUI JavaScript library. YUI4JSF got cancelled {{cite web|url=https://cagataycivici.wordpress.com/2009/01/09/what-happened-to-yui4jsf/|title=What happened to YUI4JSF|date=9 January 2009|publisher=|accessdate=30 July 2016}} in favor of PrimeFaces in early 2009.

Since its release, PrimeFaces has been strongly supported by Oracle, particularly within the NetBeans world.[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/java-primefaces-2191907.html PrimeFaces in the Enterprise], Josh Juneau, Oracle Technology Network, April 2014
