seam-gen with JBoss (Seam) tools

admin.admin.email.tld Feb 15, 2008 7:20 PM

following is regarding Seam2.0.0.GA:

when I run thru the seam-gen interview (wizards) in Eclipse Europa with JBoss Tools (Seam Tools) plugin, the result is four projects (folders) and no build.xml.

when I run seam-gen from command prompt I get one project (folder) and a build.xml. this is achieved by doing the following:

1) seam setup
2) enter config data
3) seam create-project

why is there a difference here? in terms of project footprint as well as build.xml? is the jboss tools seam-gen running different seam commands and thus creating more projects/folders? why? is this modifyable?

in terms of best practice, what is recommended and used by the Seam dev team? one project/folder per Seam app or multiple?

thx.

I searched this document for build.xml and no hits...

I got the answer to one of my questions, however:

The Seam Project wizard generates projects like Eclipse WTP style in order to utilize Eclipse WTP features and to
have a correct classpath. To be more precise it generates one project per artifact.

WTP is very limited in what project structures it supports.

A future release of JBoss Tools will generate an Ant build, but this has not yet been implemented.

I've been looking around for the same thing. I'd encourage others to go vote for the JIRA issue Gavin entered for it:

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE-1206

Someone has already taken a stab at making their own build.xml and attached it to the issue if you're interested. I haven't tried it out, but it's probably better than starting from scratch...
