[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-2051) please put WEB-INF under view instead of resources (seam-gen)

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2051?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12459046#action_12459046 ] 

Dan Allen commented on JBSEAM-2051:
-----------------------------------

I should mention that moving WEB-INF under view will help with the IntelliJ project setup. IntelliJ assumes that views are located one directory above WEB-INF. Thus, with the current setup, IntelliJ is not able to locate the views.

> The current seam-gen project structure is
> src
>   action
>   model
> resources
>   WEB-INF
>   META-INF
> view
> IDEs choke on this structure, but it really comes down to just one folder. The src/ and resources/ directory really aren't a problem. The real problem is that WEB-INF/ just needs to be under view/. Seriously, if that can happen, the IDEs really will be happier. People are not arguing for the sake of arguing. This convention is the way that Sun laid out more than a decade ago and vendors have catered to it ever since (even JBoss). It's not like we woke up one day and said, gee, let's put WEB-INF/ in the folder with web artifacts. Rather than try to change the whole world, can we just move this one folder? I promise I am not arguing to read my own writing. 
> Proposed structure

>   META-INF
> view
>    WEB-INF
