Netbeans + Seam Plugin = Success !!

[ericcart]

After fighting... for more than a week with JBoss Eclipse IDE + Seam + Exadel ... I concluded that THIS PLATFORM SUCKS

There's no way to make them work.... If you get it.... after two days stops working.... and eats a lot of memory just to start it.


So I tried Netbeans + Seam + Seam Plugin.... It worked fine at the first time... NO PROBLEM !!!!!! I can't believe it.

I have initialized a Web project full enabled with Hibernate, Seam, Drools, and jBPM.


I hope this message saves time to next one testing JBossEclipse.


PD: JBoss Team, if you are working to release Red Hat Developer Studio, please hurry, there's a huge need for integrated tool.

Thanks,
Eric

you do realize that the seam-gen menu is the exact same as command line seam gen which is the exact same as netbeans is using ? ;)

The problem with these generated projects is that nothing is actually enabled in the IDE for this...afaik both eclipse and netbeans does not have all their features enabled for a seamgen'ed project.

that is thouhgh what we are working on in RHDS on having; something that actually uses the IDE for something more than a glorified java editor ;)

[ericcart]

Yes, just an editor..... a wrapper to the command line. But It works.


I'm reaaaaallllllyyyy mean it..... I put the best of me to work with the Eclipse solution with all the stuff ... but It's too unstable.

I'll be waiting for RHDS.


PD: I've even been trying to work just with makefiles and vi.

PD2: Live is wonderfull when everything works :-)

Thanks,
Eric

so how could calling seam gen not work for you in eclipse ? you don't have to do anything different than from command line nor netbeans....I don't get it ;) (and i don't recall any bugreports ? :)

[ericcart]

I didn't try sem-gen command line. I used all the others tools. For example Jboss IDE Beta, creating a JBoss IDE Project (EAR, WAR and EJB... and adding the libraries and files). I thought Seam was supported... It's very tricky to configure and the environment does not help.

I just checked sem-gen command line... ant setup... ant new-project... etc... It's very far from I was looking for.... and seam documentation does not describe to use it as a fundamental thing to configure a project (may be, because It's not very handy to be running ant commands).


The key with netbeans is that Seam Plugin uses sem-gen command line as a wizard (very easy to create all the project configuration).

In a couple of hours, I migrated all the tests and I'm working with the final project at netbeans.

JBoss IDE beta never claimed seam support so nope ;)

the seam gen projects are directly importable into eclipse, including jboss ide etc.

JBoss Tools and RHDS have a wizard that generates a directly deployable project from eclipse.

[ericcart]

I don't understand... today which is the official IDE ?

I trying to work with the pure jboss platform. Options:

1. Eclipse + Jboss Tools (JBossIDE 1.5/1.6)
2. Jboss IDE Beta 2 + Seam-gen command line
3. Eclipse + Exadel ?
4. RHDS is not realesed (not even a night build)

Which one ?

Thanks,
Eric

Yes, i am in the same situation too!
I told Max many times that Netbeans works but JBOsstools Not!
And i told him that netbeans is prone to die without any reason and 6.0 doesn not support Seam! It is a pity and the reason i give it up!!!

I am waiting for JBossTools although it does not work now!

~~~~Max, i think you had better to use netbeans's seam-plugin to know its advantage over JBosstools and to make JBOssTools better.

~~~~~~~~~Does Your netbeans die frequently? In my pc, it dies whenever i open about 10 windows!!! And Netbeans' seamplugin for 6.0 cann't be found!

JBoss Tools and RHDS have a wizard that generates a directly deployable project from eclipse.

Anyway, JBossTools' support to Seam is not as good as netbeans.
Why it's not bettered while serveral weeks past.

[ericcart]

Nop, No problem with Netbeans.

[maxandersen]

ybxiang.wolf - please tell me what is so different between netbeans and eclipse seam support.

Where are you getting that ultimate plugin for netbeans ? The only version I can see and find just calls out to seam-gen and doesn't do more or less...meaning its the same as the one in eclipse.

I would love if you could point out what parts you think is better instead of just saying jbosstools doesn't work.

[robert_trudel]

i would like to know what i need to download to be able to use seam 2.0 with netbeans 6.0

[ericcart]

Netbeans 6.0 is at RC2.

I´m using Netbeans 5.5 with:

Seam Gen plugin
