Hi,

I'm starting a new project with JBoss Seam and still haven't desided which dev environment I'll use. I would like to hear what kind of env. you use when you're developing with Seam.

I have done one Seam project with Eclipse and Maven. In contained three different Eclipse "code" project (web, ejb and ear) and one for bringing all together. It was pretty nice, even it took huge amount of work to get it working. depencecys where really pain in the ass. Also testNG and microcontainer didn't work together. So I couldn't do any Seam component tests during build.

I have tested Eclipse and JBoss Tools. The idea in there is really nice, but it feels very slow and heavy. JBoss, JSF libraries and for example RichFaces is very nicely integrated to the Eclipse. Still I did't like it. Maybe there were too many moving components and no control att all...I dont know.

Have anyone done Seam project with just plain Ant ja Eclipse? I dont need to run app server in the Eclipse. I like to run server in console outside Eclipse. The WYSIWYG coding is also not for me. I dont want to drag and drop components. It 's a nice feature, but I would like to know what goes in the source, so I like to write my code not draw it

Please share if you have some nice experiences with Seam and dev. tools and environments.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
