I also had problems deploying Seam projects.

I reinstalled the tools a couple of times, but it failed. But doing a complete reinstall of everything, works successful.

I reinstalled:
eclipse-jee-europa-winter-win32.zip (without updating)
JBossTools-2.0.1.GA-ALL-win32.zip
jboss-4.2.2.GA.zip
jboss-seam-2.0.1.GA.zip

I don't know where I can check the WTP version. But I have Web Standard Tools (WST) Project 2.0.2.v200802150100-.....

[maxandersen]

winter is WTP 2.0.2 .....so that configuration should not work ;)

btw. the workaround to avoid all these problems is to remove all the non-ejb jars listed via in application.xml

But is does work for me.
I have also seen those errors, but doing a complete clean install solves the problem for me. But I do have to restart Eclipse once on first install for a components.xml error to disappear.


I'll post my actions step by step:
(I'm using Windows Vista)

1)
Stop any running JBoss server.


2)
Extract the following files all in the same directory. This directory must be clean (no subdirectories) before extracting.

eclipse-jee-europa-winter-win32.zip (132.676.279 bytes)
JBossTools-2.0.1.GA-ALL-win32.zip (69.220.739 bytes)
jboss-4.2.2.GA.zip (96.943.695 bytes)
jboss-seam-2.0.1.GA.zip (97.019.703 bytes)

(JBossTools will automatically be located in the right Eclipse directory.)

3)
Start eclipse.exe in administrator mode (in Vista: rightclick > run as administrator).

4)
In Eclipse choose a NEW NON-EXISTING workspace.

5)
(In Eclipse) start a new "Seam Web Project". As "Target Runtime", choose "JBoss, a division of Red Hat" > "JBoss 4.2 Runtime" and enable "Also create a new local server". Browe to the jboss-4.2.2.GA directory extracted in previous steps.

As "configurations" (still in the "New Seam Project" window), choose "Dynamic Web Project with Seam 2.0 (technology preview)".

Leave the "Project Facets" options and choose next till you're in the "Seam Facet" options.

As "Seam Runtime" add the jboss-seam-2.0.1.GA directory extracted in previous steps.

"Deploy as" is default set to "WAR". Leave it there.

Add a database. Choose one yourself. (I choose hsql for simplicity.)

And finish.

Give Eclipse some time (no cpu usage), in previous tries, a got memory problems if I went on to quickly.

8)
Right click the newly created seam project > "Run As" > "Run on Server" > next and finish.
The project will now be deployed and raises an "error while reading /WEB-INF/components.xml" error.
See http://91.186.11.154/~cyb/temp/java/run1.txt

9)
stop the server via Eclipse and close Eclipse.

10)
start eclipse again (in administrator mode) and run the project again.
This time (and the following afterward) it will work without those errors.
See http://91.186.11.154/~cyb/temp/java/run2.txt

"Deploy as" is default set to "WAR". Leave it there

This issue is about EAR deployment.

I just updated the eclipse wst package today and it works.

fyi, Update history shows me this:
