Create minimal Seam project (no DB), or/and add Seam facet with minimal impact (no DB) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-2630 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-2630 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 2.1.2 Reporter: Francisco Jose Peredo Noguez Assignee: Alexey Kazakov Fix For: 3.0.0.cr1 Currently, to create a Seam project, one needs to configure a database connection, but Seam can be used in other contexts that maybe do not need a database connection, or that may not need to use JPA (for example a Web applications that is acting as the client of a WebService, or that needs to interact with a legacy database using plain JDBC or Ibatis, or to create an small example project. I find the need to specify the database connection cumbersome, specially if I just want to create a small "test project" to try to solve an small non database related problem in isolation (or to demonstrate Seam capabilities beyond its integration with JPA). I think it should be possible to create a Minimal Seam project using the wizard, one that does not ask for a database connection, and does not need to use a database connection. It should also be possible to add the Seam facet to a project with minimal impact to the project (minimal web.xml alteration for support for JSF, or perhaps only do that if JavaServer Faces facet is selected, copying of minimal required libs, and a components.xml with literally everything disabled (specially anything database related)).
