How to create seam web project programmatically?

Hi!

I want to create a seam web project programmatically like I can create a simple java project with JDT. Could someone provide me some information about the issue?

Just create a Java project using JDT API and then enable Seam support for the project:

IProject project = ...; // Your Java project.

org.jboss.tools.common.model.util.EclipseResourceUtil.addNatureToProject(project, org.jboss.tools.seam.core.ISeamProject.NATURE_ID); // Enables Seam builder and nature.
                              if(!project.hasNature(org.jboss.tools.jst.web.kb.IKbProject.NATURE_ID)) {
                                        org.jboss.tools.common.model.util.EclipseResourceUtil.addNatureToProject(project, org.jboss.tools.jst.web.kb.IKbProject.NATURE_ID); // Enables JBoss Tools KnowledgeBase builder/nature required by Seam/JSF code completion/validation/hyperlinks.
                              }
                              org.jboss.tools.common.model.util.EclipseResourceUtil.addBuilderToProject(project, org.eclipse.wst.validation.internal.plugin.ValidationPlugin.VALIDATION_BUILDER_ID); // Enables WST validation which is required by Seam validation.
Or you can create a WTP dynamic web project instead of plain Java project if you want a full JSF support on XHTML/JSPs.

Hi!

I have created my web project with this code segment finally:

SeamProjectWizard wizard = new SeamProjectWizard();
wizard.init(PlatformUI.getWorkbench(), null);
WizardDialog dialog = new WizardDialog(PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell(), wizard);
dialog.open();

        if (dialog.getReturnCode() == Dialog.OK) {

            try {
                ejbProjectName = wizard.getDataModel().getStringProperty(ISeamFacetDataModelProperties.SEAM_EJB_PROJECT);
                System.out.println("ejb project name "+ejbProjectName);
            }
...

I want to retrieve the ejb project's name, but I get an exception using the above. Can someone suggest a solution?

You should use model of Seam facet instead of Seam wizard:
...
Set<Action> actions = wizard.getFacetedProjectWorkingCopy().getProjectFacetActions();
for (Action action : actions) {
       if(ISeamFacetDataModelProperties.SEAM_FACET_ID.equals(action.getProjectFacetVersion().getProjectFacet().getId())) {
            IDataModel seamFacetModel = (IDataModel)action.getConfig();
            ejbProjectName = seamFacetModel.getStringProperty(ISeamFacetDataModelProperties.SEAM_EJB_PROJECT);
            break;
       }
}
