Apache Maven 3 Cookbook

Chapter 5
Seam Forge is a Maven project which is publicly hosted on GitHub.com. You will need a Git
client installed to "clone" (similar to svn checkout) the project on to your workstation.
You will need Maven 3 and Java 6
There are five steps for downloading, installing, and executing Seam Forge. They are as follows:
1. The first step is to clone the project using a Git or Git client:
$ git clone git://github.com/seam/forge.git seam-forge
This will clone, checkout, download the Seam Forge sources on to a new folder
created on your current working directory called seam-forge.
2. Navigate into this folder:
$ cd seam-forge
3. Build/install Seam Forge:
$ mvn install
4. Once you see build success, navigate into the dist folder:
$ cd dist
5. Execute!:
$ mvn exec:java
How it works...
A Seam Framework Maven web application works exactly like any typical Maven web
application; it is compiled and tested, then artifacts are generated and made ready for
deployment on an application server.
Seam Framework artifacts are of course dependencies that are required during the compile
and test phases of the project lifecycle.
