[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-546) seam-gen should be runnable from outside of the seam dir

seam-gen should be runnable from outside of the seam dir -------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-546 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-546 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Tools Reporter: Norman Richards Assigned To: Norman Richards Fix For: 1.1.1.GA the seam script can only be run from within the seam install directory. It should be runnable from anywhere. I suggest adding the following, mostly stolen from the JBoss run.sh script: DIRNAME=`dirname $0` if [ "x$SEAM_HOME" = "x" ]; then # get the full path (without any relative bits) SEAM_HOME=`cd $DIRNAME; pwd` fi cd $SEAM_HOME/seam-gen This would allow the application to be run from anywhere, and also gives the user the ability to specify SEAM_HOME if they want to. I'm sure run.bat shows how to best accomplish this for non-UNIX people.
