java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Lorg/primefaces/model/UploadedFile error with Primefaces 8.0

[mpirli]

We are trying to create a new project in Apache Netbeans with Primefaces 8.0. JSF 2.2, JDK 1.8, Glassfish 5.1.0. We have commons-fileupload 1.3.3 installed. Whenever we try to run the project we get the error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Lorg/primefaces/model/UploadedFile.
We have commons-logging 1.2 installed. We tried using commons-fileupload 1.4, commons-io 2.2, commons-io 2.11, log4j 1.2.17. Nothings worked. Any suggestions?
With Primefaces 7.0 everything works fine, but we would prefer to use Primeface 8 if possible, as that is the latest available Community release.
Thanks!

Did you read the MIgration Guide: https://primefaces.github.io/primefaces ... fileupload

We have read the Migration Guide, but it isn't any help. We don't yet call UploadedFIle in any place in the code of the new project (this will be added later). We don't get the error in any particular line of code. The full error is like this:

Yes if you read error and the migration guide the migration guide says...

"Models have been moved from org.primefaces.model to org.primefaces.model.file".

Your error above says cannot find "org.primefaces.model" which is the old PF package which explains why you are getting a No Class Def found. So to me it sounds like you have an EAR or WAR with multiple PrimeFaces versions loaded or something like that.

Thanks for your reply.
After a lot of searching, we found out that the theme we were using (atlas) referenced a primefaces 6.0 jar somewhere. That was the problem. Thanks again.
