[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: Seam & Maven2

[mzeijen]

You are completely right that Maven2 isn't perfect and it (or its concept) has its flaws. But I haven't discovered yet that the maven plugins are Buggy.

This should be put in a repository and have then their dependencies marked in their pom file etc. until we have a complete chain of dependencies.

We wanted to know the complete dependency list because then it is easier to make a dependency graph. With this graph we know which dependencies are directly used by Seam. We need the complete graph to see which  dependencies (direct and indirect) aren't in the Maven repositories. Getting them in the repositories will become a difficult task, though.

You are right that Maven2 is just another tool to not go crazy about. But a lot of people want to use it and to use it with Seam somebody needs to make it work.

When the Maven2 support is ready then people won't have a lot of trouble using Seam with Maven2.

Many of the libs which are required to deploy a seam app in Tomcat are not required for JBoss etc. So is it possible to build a war for tomcat and one for JBoss which contain different sets of libraries, by switching the profile for example?)

With profiles you should be able to solve this problem. Profiles are pretty powerful ;).
