Apparently you didn't include the PrimeFaces JAR file properly in the webapp's runtime classpath.

Here are the steps (well, step), you need to perform in a Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse in order to include a 3rd party JAR file properly in webapp's runtime classpath.

  1. Drop the JAR file straight in project's /WEB-INF/lib folder.

That's all.

If you have ever fiddled around in project's Build Path properties in an attempt to achieve/fix it, then you need to make absolutely sure that you undo it all, or it may still cause conflicts/clashes.

Did you successfully complete a basic JSF tutorial / HelloWorld example? Are you able to get <h:xxx>, <f:xxx> and <ui:xxx> to work? Rightclick the page in browser and View Source. If they are still there (along with <p:xxx> tags), then it simply means that the request URL as you see in browser's address bar did not match the URL pattern as you've definied for the FacesServlet. It's the one responsible for performing all the JSF works of producing the desired HTML output.
your assumption was right, the jar file needs to be put in the lib folder of the WEB_INF it should work from the first time but the browser was caching
