This fork of Seam requires JDK 8 or higher.

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 JBoss AS 7.1.x).

Up to date version information and complete dependency information is not included in the docs, but is provided in the /dependency-report.txt which is generated from the Maven POMs stored in /build. You can generate this file by running ant dependencyReport.

We aren't actually going to discuss how to use Maven here, but just run over some Seam usage from user/application point of view you could use.

Released versions of Seam are available in http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public.

All the Seam artifacts are available in Maven:
