Seam 3 + Eclipse + JBoss 7

[rcbandit]

Hi,
  I'm looking for a manual how to setup a web project with Seam 3 and Eclipse. I tried to install the latest eclipse and JBoss Tools versions but still when I try to create a new seam web project the latest version of Seam is 2.2. How I can use Seam 3 with eclipse.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Regards

It's a CDI project. Best would be to get your pom in order using Forge, then open in eclipse.

Thank you for the answer.
Sorry but I'm new to seam and eclipse. Would you please explain in detain the solution that you propose. Thank you.

I would if I used eclipse :) The best I can tell you is to look at the JBoss Tools docs, or ask in #jbosstools freenode irc channel. Sorry.

What do you use for development environment? I suppose that you use a tool for editing the source code when you work with seam

[lightguard]

I use IntelliJ, but there are plenty who use Eclipse + JBoss Tools

How do you use it for making web projects with Seam 3?

[lightguard]

By using it's CDI tooling and the rest of the webapp capabilities (this is Ultimate Edition btw)

You should use JBoss Tools for that config. It comes with a Seam Web Project.

See Chapter 3. Getting started with Seam, using JBoss Tools

Since JBT only supports JBAS 7 from version 3.3.3-Mx and that one only runs on Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo), this would be what you'd have to install.

See Chasing a White Rabbit with JBoss Tools 3.3 M2

and JBoss Tools downloads

Peter, did you end up figuring out a solution? I'd also been trying to get this to work and have already consulted all the references Karsten has given. The problem I'm having is that even with JBoss Tools 3.3 M2 and Eclipse Indigo, the most recent version of Seam it lets me select from for the project is 2.2. There is no mention of 3.0 anywhere.

The way I got things going is this:

Use Seam forge to generate the project, there are some Seam Forge tutorials online and a couple of videos. Once your project is generated you simply can import the Maven POM into your IDE. It has been working good for me with Eclipse/AS 7/Seam 3. Only bad parts that some Seam modules are not complete to this date like mail. Also, faces and security still lack some important features.
