I am also seeing several compiler errors for the auto-generated Authenticator class that I don't see in my TestBean class. very strange, they're in the same project and same package:

"[foo] cannot be resolved to a type".

I have not altered the classpath or build paths for any of the 4 generated projects at all.

Finally worked with the workspace example from this doc: http://docs.jboss.org/tools/3.0.0.CR2/en/GettingStartedGuide/html_single/index.html#first_seam

btw, for the matching version of JBoss tools (3.0.0.CR2), the pics are different, that needs to be updated, it's somewhat confusing obviously when the pics are wrong or don't match what we see.

I created a WAR (2 projects created) and now I see the authenticator (Event) and other info in that seam components view.

The EAR still doesn't work...

Ok, this thread is moving faster than I can type ;)

Let me answer some of the questions I could spot:


1) Did JBoss Tools at some point only work with the WTP style project ?

Yes - JBT 2/JBDS 1 was solely WTP

2) Does JBoss Tools work with the seam-gen styled project (or any other style than WTP ?)

Yes - JBT 3.x/JBDS 2.x supports setting up your own project structure. To get our wizards etc. to work you need to enable Seam support in project properties of each project and make sure the various out put directories are set to something existent.

3) Does seam-gen generate something that works in JBoss Tools ?

It does, but there was/is a bug that natures are not enabled fully. Solution is to go to project properties and then disable/enable Seam to force installation of the project nature/builder so we get notified of Seam project related changes.

Seam-gen projects use ant sript to build/deploy EAR/EJB/WAR. So you can use any project structure. It's metter of ant file to handle it. But JBoss Tools depends on Eclipse Web Tools. And you have to have WTP-strucrtured projects to have whole set of features.
For EAR deployment type it creates 4 projects: EAR,EJB,WAR,Test. And there are two projects in case of WAR deployment: WAR,Test.

Plz elaborate on which features we'd miss out on in JBoss Tools if we don't start using WTP-structured projects.

BTW, the Seam Components view and HQL editor are now working for my BETS seam-gen'd project.

In the latest version all the Seam features can be enabled on WTP but you have to use either the Ant build files to deploy or setup Project Archives to the deployment for you if you don't use WTP.
