Error in Implementing PrimeFaces extensions

Question

I am new to primefaces and trying to implement the primefaces extensions. As per the guide I have added the following jars to my buildpath: 1) commons-lang3-3.1.jar 2) gson-2.3.1.jar 3) primefaces-5.0.jar 4) primefaces-5.0-sources.jar 5) primefaces-extensions-3.2.0.jar

and I have created an xhtml and managed bean as suggested here: http://www.primefaces.org/showcase-ext/sections/timeline/basic.jsf

Following is the error log for the same:

Answer 1

This is caused by using a wrong combination of PF and PFE... With PF5, you can only use PFE 2.0/2.1.Searching in google for the error in the stacktrace would have told you so
