[seam-dev] What is expected of JBoss Seam 2.3 for JBoss Tools

[Daniel Hinojosa]

I got done with a Skype conversation with Alexey Kazakov on how JBoss Tools
will interact with the new Seam 2.3.  The points are below. Some further
questions are asked below.  Many of you already know most of what is going
on, this email is for clarification, information and to make this process
as public as possible.


*  Latest JBT is used with Eclipse 3.7.2 Indigo
*  Seam 2.3 uses maven, therefore all dependencies are done through maven
*  JBT WILL NOT be using Maven
*  JBT only needs the initial seam distribution (zip file with lib) to have
everything it needs to create a seam web project.
*  Once JBT has the initial distribution and libraries it can then use that
to create a seam web project.
*  If the end user wishes to use JBT, they have to download the
distribution, map it to SEAM_HOME.
*  If the end user doesn't wish to use JBT, they can just add dependencies
to their maven pom files, and do what they want.
*  If the end user wants to use JBT AND Maven, that will not be supported
currently (Need Verification)
*  JBT will expect that the end distribution of Seam will have a lib folder
with required jars, a list of jars, and a seam.sh and seam.bat to run
seam-gen
*  Seam 2.3 has a distribution module that creates the final distribution
and uses the assembly plugin to achieve what JBT needs, this is the focus
currently:

https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam/branches/community/Seam_2_3/distribution/
*  JBT will still require seam.bat or seam.sh scripts so it can create
entities and actions and that is already part of the current distribution

If this is not correct, please correct since if there is something wrong,
it's because of a lack of understanding on my part.

Hope this is beneficial.
