[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBSEAM-1563) create "bin" distribution
[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1563?page=all ]
Pete Muir updated JBSEAM-1563:
------------------------------
Issue Type: Task (was: Feature Request)
Component/s: (was: Core)
Fix Version/s: 2.0.1.GA
I think there is still some mileage in this. I need to improve the dep management of the
examples and seam-gen first (for which I have a cunning plan).
I think distro sans-libraries is the most interesting (with libraries pulled in via maven)
but with examples etc.
create "bin" distribution
-------------------------
Key: JBSEAM-1563
URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1563
Project: JBoss Seam
Issue Type: Task
Affects Versions: 1.3.0.ALPHA, 1.2.1.GA, 2.0.0.BETA1
Reporter: Dan Allen
Assigned To: Pete Muir
Fix For: 2.0.1.GA
Original Estimate: 1 week
Remaining Estimate: 1 week
The current releases of Seam are ridiculously large, weighing in at around 80MB. That is
almost as big as the JBoss AS download! While it is critical to offer the entire bundle
for Seam developers, contributors, and source builders, I think it would be appropriate to
offer a "bin" distribution that is intended just to run Seam. Perhaps just spin
off seam-gen as its own download. That should give people exactly what they need to run
Seam, and nothing more.
Below is a comparison table of some competing projects:
Spring Framework: 10MB (2.6MB if you pull it from the maven repository)
Ruby on Rails: 2.2 MB (standalone version)
I remember when I first discovered Seam, I put off trying it out because it was too hefty
of a download. Let's make it more attractive.
