I have a few seam projects and have been trying to port one over to be a Java 5 project in MyEclipse to see what wonderful new file-completions and extra validations etc. there are.
For the time being me and others used a J2EE project and hacked it… (See my previous posts on how to do this).

So, I had major problems knowing what files I had to change and what needed changing…
I have three seperate “projects” in the project: Ear, Jar and War.. I looked at the files (.project, classpath etc.) and tried to hack them (e.g. changing 1.4 to 5.0 and guessing what natures I needed etc.) with some success, but not complete success. I even swapped out the J2EE MyEclipse Libraries and replaced them with the J5EE ones.

I gave up in the end and reverted the files back as I could not get the War to even be seen as a module to be included in the Ear.

Please can you post a ‘how to” to convert a Seam project from a hacked J2EE project to a J5EE project (is it even worth doing?)

I also noticed some work has been done in filtering out exploded deployments (useful) so you can create an Ear with only a subset of the files (potentially have different ear for test/live et.)

Is there any text on this?

Seam is a layer between EJB and JSF for EJB3 and uses hibernate anotations (as well as others).
Hopefully this will help determine suitable validators that need to be included.

Oh yes, and facelets.
