Can't use ICEFaces eclipse plugin (Designer) in my maven project - eclipse

Question

my project uses maven 2, spring 3, JSF 2 , ICEFaces 2
i downloaded icefaces eclipse plugin from here
http://www.icefaces.org/main/downloads/os-downloads.iface?category=Eclipse,NetBeans
and i have an xhtml page in my app, when i open it with the web page editor, and show the palette, it only contains HTML 4.0 components, and doesn't contain the JSF and ICEFaces components, why ?
but when i create a new dynamic web project, following this tutorial
http://wiki.icefaces.org/display/ICE/Creating+ICEfaces+Applications+with+Eclipse#CreatingICEfacesApplicationswithEclipse-creating
i am able to add icefaces and jsf components.
is there's a missing configuration or dependency in my spring maven project?
here's my pom.xml:
<properties>
<spring.version>3.0.5.RELEASE</spring.version>
<spring-security.version>3.0.5.RELEASE</spring-security.version>
<spring-webflow.version>2.2.1.RELEASE</spring-webflow.version>
