[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-19645) Remove seam 3 features from JBDS, JBT default install; add new connector to Central

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19645?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Alexey Kazakov commented on JBIDE-19645: ---------------------------------------- {quote} Alexey Kazakov how many features do we have in this seam3 using "old" seam3 packages/syntax now ? and how many of the seam3 features do we/do we not support in new deltaspike format ? {quote} Here is the list of some of Seam 3 features we support: *Seam Faces* - JBIDE-8572 *Seam Solder* - JBIDE-8195, JBIDE-9244 *Seam Servlet* - JBIDE-9388 This is not a full list! We support more but I can't find every JIRA right now. We do support seam config xml and more. But all our Seam 3 features are valid only for Seam 3 packages/syntax, etc. If some of them has been moved to DeltaSpike, CDI 1.1, or some other extensions, then we have to re-implement/refactor/migrate them in CDI tools too. I don't have any list of features which we migrated to DeltaSpike or CDI 1.1. Probably we missed some of them, if you are aware of any of such missed feature then please create a JIRA :) {quote} And this plugin purely provides the hooks/backbone for seam3 cdi extensions, right ? no wizards, no UI etc. all just nice and transparent only activated when actually used in the project, no performance impact etc. and all unit tested so if we break stuff it would show up, correct ? {quote} That's almost correct. We have Seam extensions mentioned in CDI Validation preferences. See the screenshot below. The rest is correct. {quote} For me, the key aspect is "visibility", does the phrase "Seam 3" show up any place other than some plug-in/feature package names? From a runtime standpoint, we never supported Seam 3 as we move the important capabilities over to Deltaspike. {quote} Yes, you will see "Seam 3" only in plugins/features/package names and descriptions/about dialogs/update sites, etc. as Nick's already mentioned *plus* Seam validation preferences: !validation.png! -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
