We primarily target Seam at JBoss AS and so the docs discuss dependencies if you build for JBoss AS. The other dependencies there are those that are shipped with JBoss AS but not with Glassfish and are needed for Seam/that particular example. dom4j, javassist, jboss-el are core deps of Seam, most of the rest is deps of RichFaces or Hibernate.
