Yes, I would like to have it "mainstreamed", I just wanted to be sure to
understand how things work before I come up with a proposal. There are
some problematic points in the scaffold, which will not easily be
managed by inheritance e.g. BackingBean.jv, so I am convinced, that only
a clean and clear design can make it work.
No, I do _not_ want to create a parallel development, it just looks like
you are in the middle of closing 1.0..
Anyhow I made a git project " plugin-faces-idaware" on
github.com, so
you can have a look at my changes anytime - please not yet, the issues
with package visibility are still a problem. I'm not so used to git yet,
though I gradually tend to get hooked :-)
I promise I will send a pull request when it's stable enough to have it
integrated. I really do think that stability of the seam plugin is key
for the success of Forge.
@reverse engineer: I had a go with the hibernate plugin, but I found,
that it produces field access annotations, which I do not like.
So I simply used Eclipse Hibernate tools (JBoss plugin??) to reverse
engineer my database and then copied the sources into a Forge project.
Works great, that's exactly what I expected from a tool like Forge :-))

First,
It's awesome that you've been getting into the Inspectors and
WidgetBuilders! I think that's great!
It sounds like you starting creating a new scaffold because there were
some problems with the existing one.
My question is:
"Are there enough differences between the Faces scaffold and the one
that you are writing, that you think they should be separate?" OR do
you think we should just fix what is wrong with the existing one? (I
would lean toward fixing it, and adding extension points for any
places where you want things to be different :)
What do you think?
I'd love to help you however I can to make this happen.
We usually just use Pull requests and JIRA issues to track this type
of work so that everyone can stay in sync! Sound like something you're
interested in? It's ok that you don't have much time - this is open
source!

PS. Which type of database engineering did you use? Forge? How did it
work for you?
