Yes, of course, but this will take several months of work.

There really are a LOT of advantages to starting with the seam-gen structure. I did a lot of work on things that will take you a while to reproduce if you try to do it all from scratch. (like, weeks of work!)

However, there's nothing magical about it, and other structures can work just as well.

Yes, the Eclipse WTP is crap, and doesn't work, AFAICT. They have no concept of an EAR, which is just totally broken and nonsense. I refuse to use this broken stuff.

Now that I use this stuff every day, I can't imagine not having it.
