Seam Downloads

Requirements

Please read the Requirements FAQ first if you have any questions, this is a quick overview:

• Seam 2.x examples require JBoss Application Server 4.2 if you want to deploy these examples out-of-the-box. Some bundled examples have been ported to other application servers and servlet containers, as documented in their README files. You do not need JBoss AS to write or deploy Seam 2.0 applications. See this page for more information on application servers and containers.

• Seam 1.2 requires JBoss 4.0, which must be installed using the JEMS installer with the ejb3 or ejb3-clustering profile.

• JDK 5.0 is required for all Seam releases. Seam has not been tested on JDK 6.0 (check this page for updates).

To get started with Seam after you downloaded it, please follow the Getting Started guidelines.

Building Seam

You need a full install of ant. Some linux distributions only supply a partial installation of ant which will make the build fail. If so, make sure ant-nodeps.jar is on the classpath.

To build Seam from SVN, just run ant build in seam/. You'll find the built artifacts and current set of libraries in jboss-seam/lib.

For more information, see Getting Started Developing the Seam Framework.
