To set up Seam, use the following software: Software JBoss 4.2.2.GA JBoss Seam 2.0.0.GA Eclipse Europa for JEE developers JDK 1.5.x or above Apache Ant 1.6.x (do not use 1.7!) Configuration Environment variables Ensure that JAVA_HOME is pointing to the JDK Ensure that ANT_HOME is pointing to the Ant directory Make sure that "%ANT_HOME%\bin" is in the PATH variable Seam Put the location of the JBOSS AS in the build.properties file (has to be absolute) Eclipse Set up the JBoss AS Runtime Go to Windows --> Preferences --> Server --> Installed Runtimes Click Add Select JBoss 4.2 Runtime Browse for the installation directory Set up the server to run off the runtime In the JBoss Server View, select New Server Select your newly created runtime Test the server by starting it up If there are problems, check the end of this guide for technical issues on JBoss HSQLDB (a.k.a. Hypersonic) The embedded database within JBoss I am using it in its default configuration, which means that data will not be retained when the JBoss Application Server is shut down Notes The above configuration is for Windows XP. I've set up the same environment on Linux (Kubuntu 7.10) without much difficulty as well.
