Either they are outdated, or incomplete, or result in server errors that I can't resolve. I thought I found a decent one by BalusC but it uses WildFly as a server and I can't get it running.
So frustrating.
Can anyone advise good books that take the reader step-by-step through setting up the server, Eclipse, the needed extensions and so on?

I spent most of yesterday, up late last night, and still this morning trying to learn enough to at least be able to speak intelligently about JSF. I've gotten nowhere. The lack of good learning materials is very frustrating. I would need a couple of weeks minimum, to prepare for this.
So I'll just have to admit my lack of experience and do the best I can with the rest of the interview. I'm tempted to just back out of it because I'm missing a lot of the requirements that they are looking for, but I'm just not a quitter. I'll do the best I can even if I embarrass myself. If by some stroke of luck I get the job, then I'll be spending a lot of late nights and weekends to get up to speed on their technology stack. But I'm afraid it's a long shot.
But what the hell. If I don't do the interview then I have zero chance of getting the job. If I do it and perform poorly, then I still have a chance that's something greater than zero.
