Maven Seam archetype

[marx3]

Is there any work to implement some functionality of seamgen in form of Maven archetype?
Now it's rather hard to convert existing Seam project to use Maven instead of Ant.
And it's rather frustrating to make new project with seamgen, and then need to convert it manually to mavenize it, then convert again to make it working in Eclipse and after all this effort jBoss Tools plugin doesn't recognize project structure and much of it's strength is lost...

I would like to know, which software environment is suggested by Seam team to to develop applications? And how we should start a project?

I imagine it could be Eclipse plus jBossTools on top of Maven, but now we have those GUI in jBoss Tools to start mutiple Eclipse projects, ant buildfile from seamgen, and a few articles how to mavenize Seam app without any single working example....

Ps. Why i can't use 'plus' sign in message body...?

Why not provide a kickstart archetype and create a start seam project.

I think it would be relatively simple for Maven guys to make Seam Maven archetype, because from 2.0 release Seam is built with Maven.

We've written a Maven Seam archetype at our firm to generate a pom structure packaged as ear. I can't share the code for that (corporate stuff), but I've blogged about the pom structure for ear, ejbs and web projects with dependencies here. It uses JBoss's Maven 2 repository and I've resolved all the transitive dependencies required for building a Maven Seam Project with Richfaces, Hibernate on JBoss AS.

I'm planning to write a generic archetype sometime and share the code ...

yes, generic archetype is exactly what's needed

I've created a Seam Archetype with a Hello World App. Documentation has an Introduction to the Archetype. Please tell me what you think about it and what may be changed. It's easily packageable and runnable from the start.

Vote for the archetype request here JBSEAM-2026

There is a new post in that JIRA by DAllen dated 04/009/09.  What is the status for this?  Will it be included in Seam 3?  Is it still recommended to use seam-gen with ant build.xml for Seam 2.x apps?  What about Seam 3 apps?

What is the currently recommended Seam archetype to use with Maven 2 and do we use seam-gen with it or not??

We created and published a Maven Archetype which allows you to setup and run a JBoss Seam Sample-Application with a full Maven based build configuration

Does your project structure support hotdeploy?
