I got done with a Skype conversation with Alexey Kazakov on how JBoss Tools will interact with the new Seam 2.3. �The points are below. Some further questions are asked below. �Many of you already know most of what is going on, this email is for clarification, information and to make this process as public as possible.
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>* �Latest JBT is used with Eclipse 3.7.2 Indigo</div><div>* �Seam 2.3 uses maven, therefore all dependencies are done through maven</div><div>* �JBT WILL NOT be using Maven</div><div>* �JBT only needs the initial seam distribution (zip file with lib) to have everything it needs to create a seam web project.</div>
<div>* �Once JBT has the initial distribution and libraries it can then use that to create a seam web project.</div><div>* �If the end user wishes to use JBT, they have to download the distribution, map it to SEAM_HOME.</div>
<div>* �If the end user doesn't wish to use JBT, they can just add dependencies to their maven pom files, and do what they want.</div><div>* �If the end user wants to use JBT AND Maven, that will not be supported currently (Need Verification)</div>
<div>* �JBT will expect that the end distribution of Seam will have a lib folder with required jars, a list of jars, and a seam.sh and seam.bat to run seam-gen</div><div>* �Seam 2.3 has a distribution module that creates the final distribution and uses the assembly plugin to achieve what JBT needs, this is the focus currently:</div>
<div>� �<a href="https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam/branches/community/Seam_2_3/distribution/">https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam/branches/community/Seam_2_3/distribution/</a></div><div>* �JBT will still require seam.bat or seam.sh scripts so it can create entities and actions and that is already part of the current distribution � ��</div>

<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>If this is not correct, please correct since if there is something wrong, it's because of a lack of understanding on my part.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this is beneficial.</div><div>
