You are correct - we had to "hack" our seam generation in jboss tools
to use its own version of the seam-gen util.jar (why ? I can't really
remember now, but it was the only way to move forward back then)

We should get it fixed so we will actually pick up the right jar.

AFAIK, we already got this in recent hibernate tools - we just need to get  
it into a release.
