+ <td valign="top">
+ <p>This plugin is the first in enabling Seam for Eclipse
+ projects. Currently there are two ways to enable it, use the
+ Seam Web Project Wizard and have a basic Seam Web project be
+ ready with Seam support or enable it on existing projects by
+ right clicking on the project and choose "Enable/Disable Seam
+ support"</p>
+
+ <p><img src="enableseam.png"/></p>
+
+ <p>Seam support on projects does *not* require your
+ eclipse project to be a WTP project, it can be a plain old
+ Eclipse project (e.g. generated by Seam's seam-gen).</p>
+
+ <p>In practice enabling "Seam support" on your project
+ installs the Seam Eclipse builder on your project which will scan your
+ project for Seam artifacts (annotations, component.xml,
+ seam.properties, etc.) to provide the various features.</p>
