If it isn't there there should be a simple message in the exception, something like, "you must have a seam.properties file to use Seam, and I couldn't find it in the classloader." | Well seam.properties acts as a token so that we don't scan every archive, we cannot warn every application that seam.properties is missing because not all applications are Seam applications (yet ;) ) I agree that we could help debugging on other things, we need your input (as users) here.
