This introduction will help you to understand what is Seam.

Seam is a fully featured application framework on top of Java EE 5. It is also one of the most popular enterprise Java framework today. Seam deeply integrates many other standard-based or open source frameworks (e.g., JSF, EJB3, JMS, Web Services, jBPM, JBoss Rules, Ajax4jsf, RichFaces, Facelets, Spring, iText, Quartz, TestNG, etc.), and provides a single programming model for developers to "drive" those underlying frameworks via simple annotated POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects). It makes life easier for developers to tackle complex enterprise applications with many component frameworks.

Here, we are going to explain how to install Seam plugin into Eclipse.

Seam is a one module of JBoss Tools project. Since Seam has a dependence on other JBoss Tools modules we recommend you to install a bundle of all JBoss Tools plug-ins. Installation instruction you can find on JBoss Wiki in InstallingJBossTools section.
