What is JSF 1.2 components : develop advanced Ajax-enabled JSF applications about?

I was offered a chance to review a copy of the JSF 1.2 Components book by Ian Hlavats and published by Packt Publishing. The book covers a number of different JSF frameworks including 1.2 Reference Implementation (RI), Facelets, Apache Tomahawk and Trinidad, ICEfaces, and RichFaces. My overall impression of the book is a 2/5 stars. Why? When you are trying to teach someone to use a new technology, the source code must work, and the effort to get it to work should be minimal. This is not the case with the accompanying source code. There are a number of errors in the code that a modern IDE and technical reviewer should catch. This applies to the code examples in the book. The configuration and requirements to use Eclipse for the projects are a shame for anyone wanting to use another IDE. The projects should have been set up to use Apache Maven to make them IDE neutral. I also do not like partial code examples. I believe that code should stand on its own. If you are going to provide code snippets, then the code provided must be complete and functional. This was not the case. The first chapter covers the very basics of JSF RI. This is a very shallow introduction to the RI. Chapter
