Problem with JBoss Tools - New Seam Project and Seam Perspective

[damienmc3]

Hello guys,

I have installed eclipse Version: 3.5.2 Build id: M20100211-1343. Now I have downloaded and installed JBoss Tools FULL PACKAGE but there is no "New Seam Project" in the wizard and no "Seam perspective". I've tried it with stable 3.1 and todays nightly build. Also tried "eclipse -clean" two or three times. Got any hints for me ? Thanks in advance.

Did you remember to install Eclipse WTP ?

What is in the error log when you run with eclipse -debug

Heinrich, I have two questions for the same issue, would you help me through?

1. I use MyEclipse, rather than Eclipse, and encountered the same problem as you did: no New Seam probject and perspective.

2. As Seam 3 breaks into 2 parts, Weld and Seam Modules, how can we start a new project development based on Seam 3?

Kindest regards, Nessus

[maxandersen]

1) MyEclipse uses their own forks of older versions of jboss tools and they haven't isolated their forks so "bumps" are to be expected if you use newer versions of jboss tools

2)  We are doing CDI focused work right now and awaiting seam team's seam-gen 3 work before doing too much with respect to Seam 3 "new projects" - but I do think we should add some CDI templates soon.

I just finally switched to Eclipse<Eclipse  IDE for Java EE Developers>, hopefully and seemingly it makes things simpler to begin and more straightforward and understandable to go along with. MyEclipse made the tool to implement our project too complicated.

As for Seam/Weld, I think it not easy to design in a Seam/Weld way, especially for me having not too much EE experiences in mind. Would you share some thoughts? I have gone throught almost all the documentations on seamframework.org, but they shows only simple samples and how many and what bricks Seam/Weld provides.

Also, does Seam provide Weld and Seam 3 plugins for Eclipse? I found not easy to get development tool ready. It's a bit scary to harness the power and simplicity of a new technology.
