Hi,<br>
<br>
I thought you might be interested in this.<br>
<br>
We've started adding the Seam examples to our Project Examples feature in JBoss Tools/Developer Studio.<br>
Primarily because they are very well documented and that users are asking "how to run the examples in eclipse".<br>
So Snjezana have been doing a couple proof of concepts, the last one being the "Message" example.<br>
<br>

<br>
Please take a look at the screencast above and let me know what you think. We haven't uploaded this to project examples yet,<br>
but will do shortly - especially if you give us feedback ;)</blockquote><div><br>I think this is exactly what users have been wanting for a long time (I can speak from personal experience as I first go into Seam). It's quite typical to open up an example, not really know what you are looking at, and decide it isn't of any value. But when someone walks you through each property and method, you hit that real "Aha!" moment. So if there is some way we can figure out how to maintain these examples in a reasonable way, I'm confident they will prove their value.<br>
<br>Honestly, it's easier to work on the documentation of an example than it is to explain a concept, so it shouldn't be too painful to keep them up to date. At the same time, we need to keep the number of examples within reason so that we don't overwhelm the users and ourselves. I think we have too many mediocre examples in Seam (some really good ones, but a lot of okay ones) and we should trim and tighten.<br>

<br>
p.s. the screencast shows Maven updating dependencies but that is just m2eclipse running - it is not a requirement<br>
to use this.</blockquote><div><br>I figured that.<br></div></div><br>-- <br>Dan Allen<br>Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action<br><br><a href="http://mojavelinux.com">http://mojavelinux.com</a><br>
