Okay, that's not really what I meant. I was thinking more along the lines of
production ready versus...well, a sandbox. But I think there is a general
consensus on a two-way split.

modules
modules-sandbox

Speaking of which, if we followed the web beans convention, the folder names
would be:

seam-modules
seam-modules-sandbox
seam-examples
seam-examples-sandbox

Should we add the seam- prefix? Or is it fine the way it is. I actually
don't care, just pointing out that I noticed the difference.

I wrote a Maven script ;)

modules/jsf-updater-tool

I'll likely weave in the antrun plugin to get fancier, but it is simple
enough right now that it gets the job done.
