[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13254?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Alexey Kazakov edited comment on JBIDE-13254 at 1/10/13 4:42 PM: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Actually code assist for Seam Messages doesn't require a dynamic web project. Seam message bundles should (AFAIK) be in project class path. But in seam-gen generated project all messages-*.properties files are placed in <project>/resources folder which is not a java source folder. They are copied to {code}${war.dir}/WEB-INF/classes{code} by ant script. Code assist start working as soon as you copy these files to any java source folder. But anyway some features can be disabled (some validation, code completion, navigation) until you convert the project to a faceted project (Project properties->Project Facets) and install JSF and Seam facets there. Seam facets actually is not required since you have seam support enabled but installing Seam facet you will enable JBoss Tools Knowledge Base support too. So if you want to have all the features enabled you need to install JSF facet + either install Seam facet or enable JBoss Tools Knowledge Base support (Project Properties->JBoss Tools Knowledge Base). The following files will be updated/created: <project>/.project <project>/.classpath <project>/.settings/* But again, for Seam *code assist* you don't need it (some seam *validation* does require a dynamic web project. see JBIDE-13242). All you need is a properly configured java project with enabled seam support. These facets are required for JSF code assist/validation/navigation. was (Author: akazakov): Actually code assist for Seam Messages doesn't require a dynamic web project.
