Using Eclipse with Seam 2.2.0.CR1

fgantt Jul 20, 2009 4:30 PM

I originally created my project with seam-gen using Seam 2.1.2.GA. I am now attempting to upgrade to Seam 2.2.0.CR1. To do the upgrade, I used seam-gen to create a new project and then did a diff of the new project to the old one. After handling all of the differences pointed out by the diff, everything looks good except for some of the Eclipse config.

1) When choosing the Seam Runtime (window--preferences--jboss tools--web--seam--add) in Eclipse, the version only goes up to 2.1. If I point it at the 2.2.0.CR1 Seam, it gives a version mismatch error. How can I get JBoss Tools in Eclipse to support the 2.2.0.CR1 Seam?

2) The seam-gen generated build.xml has a schema.version property defined. Seam-gen in 2.1.2.GA sets this value to 2.1. The seam-gen in 2.2.0.CR1 sets it to 2.2. If I change it to 2.2, the ant view in Eclipse does not seem to be able to show it.

The version of JBoss Seam Tools that I am using is 3.1.0.M2-N200907092133-H355.

Has anyone else experienced the same issues?

I have run into this as well. I guess we'll have to wait for JBossTools to catch up...

I posted a feature request Can't add Seam runtime version 2.2 (JBIDE-4657). The Seam component of JBoss Tools should be adapted for compatibility with Seam 2.2.0. Further versions should not reveal the same problem.

I'd recommend to add compatibility tests (or incompatibility notes) for further releases.
