Seam 2 Distribution Downloads

Seam 1 and Seam 2 Requirements

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

• Seam 2.3.0.ALPHA is restructured into Maven multimodule project. Preview download is available.

• Important: You do not need JBoss Application Server to write or deploy Seam applications. See this page for more information on supported application servers and containers. Seam is bundled with a number of useful example applications, many of which do target JBoss AS for out-of-the-box deployment. Some bundled examples have been ported to other application servers and servlet containers, as documented in their README files.

• Use the latest release 2.2.2.Final, which solves security issue found in JSF EL interpolation.

• Seam 2.2.1.Final examples run also on JBoss Application Server 6

• Seam 2.2 examples target JBoss Application Server 5.1.

• Seam 2.0 and 2.1 examples target JBoss Application Server 4.2 or 5.0.

• Seam 1.2 examples target 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 been also 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 2

You need a full install of ant 1.7.0. 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.

Building Seam 2.3

You need an install of Maven 3.0.x.

To build Seam from SVN, just run mvn clean install in seam/jboss-seam-parent.
