35.2. Project Dependencies

⁠35.2. Project Dependencies

This section both lists the compile-time and runtime dependencies for Seam. Where the type is listed as ear, the library should be included in the /lib directory of your application's ear file. Where the type is listed as war, the library should be placed in the /WEB-INF/lib directory of your application's war file. The scope of the dependency is either all, runtime or provided (by Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6).

Up to date version information and complete dependency information is not included in the documentation, but you can generate it from the Maven pom.xml files from Seam sources. You can generate this file for instance into /tmp/seam-dependencies.txt file by running:

mvn dependency:tree -DappendOutput=true -DoutputFile=/tmp/seam-dependencies.txt
