Sure, no hibernate stuff from Seam is packaged in as runtime dependencies, but, for the examples at least, the hibernate-all.jar *is* used to compile the example (and hence the @Min annotation). The api for @Min has changed between the version of hibernate-all (not sure what this is btw) we have and the hibernate in the AS. I was able to fix it by removing hibernate-all.jar and adding the hibernate/lib to the compile classpath. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4071130#...
