create seam 3 project

[benitojuarez]

Hello,

could anyone help me creating a java ee web project including seam 3?

I ve downloaded and installed jboss developer studio, jboss AS7 and seam 3. Now i dont find a way to create a working application.

As far as i understand i am forced to use maven because i have to build seam/solder as well since where are no usable jar files for it.

I read the seam documentation but it is not very helpful in that point.

The easiest way is to use Forge. I believe the Forge site has some documenation about it http://forge.jboss.org/

Hello Jason,

thanks for answer, but i fear that is to heavy for a noob like me.

For seam 1.2 we had some easy to go steps for creating a project. (finally some clicks in eclipse, took me about 1 hour)

For seam 2 we had seam forge. (well documentated, took me 10 min)

And now i tried 1 day to create a project including seam ...

one idea: is the old seam forge documentation still useful for seam 3?

You mean seam-gen? Forge was never in Seam 2. Seam-gen does not work for Seam 3. If you're having trouble, I suggest looking for some maven documentation: http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/. Not only will that help you with Seam 3, but nearly any current OSS Java project (more and more of them are using maven, or at least output maven artifacts). Yes, I know it will take some time, but learning a new build tool always does take time.

1. Create a Java EE Web Project with JBoss Developer Studio
2. Add the JBoss repository to pom.xml
3. Add the Seam 3 Bill of Materials to pom.xml
4. Add dependencies for the Seam 3 components that you need
5. Off you go
