What is PrimeFaces?

PrimeFaces is a user interface component library for Jakarta Faces, part of the Prime family that also includes PrimeNG for Angular, PrimeReact for React and PrimeVue for Vue. The project offers open source components alongside professional support, long term support releases, themes and a store, with a forum and Discord community.

Selling long term support is the commercially significant part and it identifies the actual customer. An organisation running a Faces application is running something built to last a decade, and its requirement is that the version it deployed keeps receiving fixes rather than that new features arrive. Guaranteeing a supported line for a defined period is what that buyer will pay for.

Maintaining equivalent libraries across four frontend technologies is unusual and useful for a specific reason. An enterprise with Faces applications and newer Angular or React work can present a consistent interface across both without two design systems, which is a real problem in organisations that build in more than one era.

The components themselves are the product. Faces provides the framework and almost nobody uses it without a component library, so this is effectively part of the platform for most teams.
