[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Which JARS do we really need for a seam application?

[toni]

Hi,

I have noticed for a while that the "jboss-seam-1.2.1.GA/lib/" directory contains many more jars besides those, which gets created during the build process, which are:

jboss-seam-debug.jar
jboss-seam-gen.jar
jboss-seam-ioc.jar 
jboss-seam.jar
jboss-seam-mail.jar
jboss-seam-pdf.jar
jboss-seam-remoting.jar
jboss-seam-ui.jar

If we want to use all the functionality currently available (ajax, richfaces, PDF, facelets and so on..), then which of those jars should be included:

activation.jar
ajax4jsf-1.1.1-SNAPSHOT.jar - DO WE NEED THIS TO USE AJAX4JSF?
ant-antlr-1.6.5.jar
ant.jar
ant-launcher.jar
antlr-2.7.6.jar
ant-nodeps.jar
commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar
commons-codec-1.3.jar
commons-collections-3.1.jar
commons-digester-1.6.jar
commons-el-1.0.jar
commons-lang-2.1.jar
el-api.jar - WHAT ARE THOSE FOR?
el-ri.jar  - WHAT ARE THOSE FOR?
hibernate-all.jar
itext-2.0.1.jar - DO WE NEED THIS FOR PDF FUNCTIONALITY?
javax.servlet.jsp.jar
jboss-aop-jdk50.jar
jboss-cache-jdk50.jar
jboss-ejb3-all.jar
jbpm-3.1.4.jar
jcaptcha-all-1.0-RC4.jar
jgroups.jar
jsf-facelets.jar  - NEEDED?
jstl-1.1.0.jar  - NEEDED?
mail.jar
mail-ra.jar
myfaces-api-1.1.4.jar  - NEEDED?
myfaces-impl-1.1.4.jar  - NEEDED?
oscache-2.3.2.jar
portlet-api-lib.jar
richfaces-3.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar - NEEDED FOR RICH FACES?
servlet-api.jar
spring.jar
testng-4.5.1-jdk15.jar
thirdparty-all.jar

The readme.txt file says that :


anonymous wrote : This directory contains all jars needed to compile Seam
  | and run the unit tests.
  | 

However, some of the jars I needed for my webapplication, like the el-* ones.

anonymous wrote : 
  | The only jars required to run Seam in a full Java EE 5
  | environment are:
  | 
  |   jbpm-3.1.1.jar
  |   thirdparty-all.jar

And does that mean that we need those for JBoss too, or are you refering to other Java EE 5 environment/application servers?!
