ganymede and jboss tool 3 problem with seam projet

[meissa]

I'm trying to use Jboss tool 3 to create a seam (2.1) web project.
While deploying an ear project, JBT ignores the essentials of an ear.
the librairies that should be on the root of the ear are not copied.
The META-INF folder is also not created.

Can someone please explain me why the generated ear is incomplete.

which version of Ganymede are you using ?

We recommend to use at least WTP 3.0.3.

which version of Ganymede are you using ?

We recommend to use at least WTP 3.0.3.

I'm using ganymede 3.4.1 version.
It's stable and we're using it for all our projects.

meissa, 3.4.1 is about the main eclipse version.

I'm talking about WTP.

And if it is stable and working for you then great, but the error you are describing is most likely caused by a bug in WTP 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 which recently got fixed.

If the problem persists after you upgraded to 3.0.3 then I would love to hear about it.

Max,

I've updated my WTP from 3.0 to 3.0.3 from the update site.
But I'm still facing with these same behaviours:

1)The generated ear has no META-INF folder
2)The librairies are not copies on top of the ear.

It seems like that the EarContent of the created ear project is completed ignored by the packaging tool.
Maybe there is some extra configuration that should be added in the seam settings. But I've searched in vain.

This behaviour did not occur with JBT 2.1. I had the project created with the META-INF folder. It was just missing the jboss-seam.jar file.

Do you have any idea?

Max,
I would like to add a precision. The META-INF folder is created, but it is empty (no application.xml and jboss-app.xml files)

[maxandersen]

Please report in jira with *exact* steps on how you created and deployed it - I cannot reproduce this when I run Seam WTP wizard, using Seam 2.0. Both WAR and EAR is deployed fully.

Also try and do a full rebuild of your project, to see if it is some issue with the files not being ready before the first publishing occurred.

[meissa]

Max,
It makes a BIG difference when you say that you can't reproduce what i've described while using seam 2.0

In fact we were not completely synchronized (please be patient i'll explain all).
I've been searching and deeply testing these last three days and I'm happy because all my troubles are gone :-))

To be short:

Everything works fine with JBT 3 RC1, Seam 2.0, and eclipse Ganymede with WTP 3.0.3

Everything also works fine with JBT 3 RC1, Seam 2.1.1 GA (yes, the last one), eclipse Ganymede with WTP 3.0.3

Here are the two combinations that works perfectly with Seam project.

While you were testing seam 2.0 with ganymede and WTP 3.0.3 I was using seam 2.1.RC1. That's the reason why we were not able to produce the same results.
I think that these two working combinations should be described somewhere to prevent users from loosing times doing what I did ...

In any case, I'm thanking you for the time you spent for solving this problem.

I don't recall any issues with Seam 2.1.RC1 that should cause for missing manifest.mf files...weird.

Thanks for letting us know it does not happen for you except for 2.1.RC1.
