jQuery Plugins Not working in Richfaces 4

I'm trying to create a modal popup in jQuery in JSF 2.0 / Richfaces 4 Application. jQuery works fine as is, say $('#myDiv').css. But jQuery plugins fail like $.blockUI(); I get the error message, the object does not support his property or value.

jQuery Version : 1.4.4

Thanks, SKR

But to clearly maintain the clean code, I recommend to use your own variable such as jQuery or myJquery instead of $, because rich-faces uses this as different variable and you may have conflicts in future for maintainability.

The below worked
1.The jQuery plugin was put into WebContent\resources folder
2.The plugin was included using into the body of the page NOT the head.

Take a look at the following link: http://community.jboss.org/message/576568#576568

jQueryPlugin component. Currently only available for RF 3.3.3 as a sandbox component and not RF 4 so probably doesn't help you much now.

A possible workaround taken from this thread that led to the jQueryPlugin component would be:

RichFaces 3.3.3-Final ship with jQuery 1.3.2. When you include rich:jQuery component in your page the automatically jquery.js script is being loaded. If you want to use custom plugins then you need to include that rich:jQuery component and load your plugin from within body but not from head, cause you don't have any guarantee on order of scripts there.

I know it is based on RF 3.3.3 but I think the same applies for RF 4. The thread has some more helpful information that is worth reading.
