Seam 2.0.2 seam-gen problem

[yk]

I m trying the seam gen utility to setup a new project (seam setup command) but I ve got the following message

dependencies] Unable to resolve artifact: Missing:
dependencies] ----------
dependencies] 1) ant:ant:jar:1.6.5
dependencies]
dependencies]   Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

dependencies]   Then, install it using the command:
dependencies]       mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=ant -DartifactId=ant -Dversion=1.6.5 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/f

dependencies]   Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:

and more .....

Configuration:

Win XP Pro, Seam 2.0.2.GA, Ant 1.6.5, JBoss 4.2.2.GA, JDK1.6.0 06

Hello,

Another user has reported seeing this Seam202GASeamgenBumps - I will take a look and see if I can reproduce it.

Thanks,

I came across the same problem when I was trying to run seam setup.  I'm behind a firewall, so you have to specify in build/root.pm.xml with a proxy so that you can actually download from the maven repository.

I hope that helps.

I have just verified that this is the firewall/internet connection issue. 

This was tested on windows prior to GA, but with 2 separate users reporting the issue I double checked the various configurations. 

All of the WinXP builds worked fine (ant 1.6.5/1.7, Java 1.6u6/1.5.X) with clean maven repo for each.

As soon as I locked down my firewall I saw the exact same error above.

As Stephen Tsen describes you need to configure seam's maven for your proxy, or open ports in your firewall.

JBSEAM-3017

Thank you very much for the answers... However, I'm wondering why seam-gen tries to re-download somes libraries if they are already bundeled with the seam download.

That means that seam-gen doesn't work if we have no internet connection or when we work offline.

To my mind, the old seam releases works well offline..

thanks,

[jbalunas.jbalunas.jboss.org]

Yup - that is exactly what JBSEAM-3017 is for.  I have already checked the fix into the Seam_2_0 branch.   

I am just verifying the same change for trunk.

I am getting this issue with 2.1.0 GA release. Has this been fixed? When I run seam create-project, its complaining that it cannot download jaxb-api-2.1.jar

[m.a.g]

I've got the same issue with 2.1.0 GA.
How I can use seamgen on computer without Internet access?

[dan.j.allen]

Yep, this is a separate issue. I introduced jaxb-api-2.1.jar so that it is possible to run tests with JDK 1.6. I overlooked the offline situation in doing so. We'll get this resolved for 2.1.0.SP1 along with the other known issues.
