I would say JBoss Tools Seam Wizards (New Project, Action, Form,
etc.) are not going to use Maven. But JBT has some maven features
(seam support enabled automatically if you import a maven project
with seam dependencies, mavenized seam project examples, etc.)
* JBT only needs the initial seam distribution (zip file
with lib) to have everything it needs to create a seam web
project.
* Once JBT has the initial distribution and libraries it can
then use that to create a seam web project.
* If the end user wishes to use JBT, they have to download
the distribution, map it to SEAM_HOME.
JBT does not use SEAM_HOME at all. We use our internal settings for
eclipse projects to map it to the seam distribution.
* 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.
Again, JBT can help here too, but if we are talking about Seam
Wizards then this is correct.
* If the end user wants to use JBT AND Maven, that will not
be supported currently (Need Verification)
Not supported by Seam Wizards. Since they are seam-gen based. All
the problems we have right now are related to our Seam Wizards. Our
seam maven integration works fine afaik. Just to be clear.
* 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
JBT does not use seam.sh, seam.bat or any scripts directly. We used
them only during development to mimic its logic. But we still need
the lib folder, the list of jars and templates (xhtmls, xmls, etc)
and hope the scripts won't change much so we won't have to rewrite
our wizards completely.
* 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:
