SeamFramework.orgCommunity Documentation
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 4.2).
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.

These libraries are required if you with to use the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) with your Seam application.
Maven offers support for transitive dependency management and can be used to manage the dependencies of your Seam project. You can use Maven Ant Tasks to integrate Maven into your Ant build, or can use Maven to build and deploy your project.
We aren't actually going to discuss how to use Maven here, but just run over some basic POMs you could use.
Released versions of Seam are available in http://repository.jboss.org/maven2 and nightly snapshots are available in http://snapshots.jboss.org/maven2.
All the Seam artifacts are available in Maven:

<groupId>org.jboss.seam</groupId>
