Dont use seam.properties for detection of seam ---------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-217 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-217 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.0 beta 2 Reporter: Rune Larsen seam is based on the convention-over-configuration philosophy. Therefore it is utterly unintuitive that a missing, empty seam.properties causes the entire framework to not function. And it even fails in a way, where it is almost impossible to guess what is wrong. So get rid of the stupid dependency of seam.properties or at the very least provide som useful error logging.
