Personally I feel it would be time to move away from the legacy validator.
Is there no way to replace the legacy validator in Seam 2 apps w/ Hibernate
Vaidator 4.x?

But in case you really want to include the legacy code (Validator 3.x  
effectively),
then 4.0.2.GA is the latest. We published the legacy code for some time as  
a module
of the current Hibernate Validator 4.x code, but since there is no active  
development
on this code we dropped the module some time ago.
