for the problems with “c:/modules/ext not found” there is simple workaround. Just create those dirs and leave empty. No errors anymore with that.

@t0in

Thanks for putting up this solution. It’s a big help for some folks.

t0in:

The problem for me was the directory I was attempting to install my SeamGen project TO. By default NetBeans creates the “NetBeansProjects” folder in your “My Documents” directory, usually in the “Documents and Settings” folder. As stated before, the spaces in my path were causing SeamGen fits.

My solution was to install my project to a new directory that was free of spaces (eg. C:\Development\Projects ) and it worked like a charm!

I’m using NetBeans 6.5 Beta and so far I’m having no problems. All the Facelets issues with 6.1 seemed to clear up so far too! Highly recommended!

am using netbeans 6.0 and dont have nbfacelets plugin installed yet i still get facelet functionalities. Also lately every time generate seam apps in netbeans it fails to generate,
giving me an error. “jboss seam 2.0.x/seam gen/build.xml 577 C:/modules/ext not found”.
this error ocurs when netbeans is copying files to the “../project name/lib”

The following “add the Seam plugin for NetBean”does not work in NetBeans 6.1:

click the “Add plugins” button. Navigate to the location of the Seam plugin for netbeans and click “Open” to add it.

No *.nbm file is found, so no modules are selected.

BTW I find seamgen to be pretty much useless for NBs for what we are doing. We are working with GlassFish and making use of the Enterprise Application project format within NB for development. The project format produced by seamgen does work with NB but since it is not of the Enterprise Application format all the great context aware options are either missing or disabled when navigating the source. I think this is more the fault of NBs though.

Hi again

Your assumption on the paths problem was probably correct but I could get things to work ayway. I found this solution.
On Michael yuans blog
http://www.michaelyuan.com/blog/2007/04/17/first-release-of-seam-plugin-for-netbeans/ anither person had the same problem. The easisest solution was to simply create the C:\modules\ext directory then everything worked.

BTW I use windows XP

Thx for great tutorials! keep it up.

Stefan
