Hi guys, There's a nice looking presentation up at... http://www.slideshare.net/jbaruch/pure-java-rad-and-scaffolding-tools-race ...that slightly 'dings' Seam Forge for not being 'continuous' (slide 43). I asked the authors what they meant by this. They said: "The reason we stated SeamForge scaffolding as one-time is not because of Metawidget, but because of the fact that generated code inside the entities is not separated from user-created one. e.g. - I generated Person entity, then changed stuff and added some stuff to it, and SeamForge's entities editing feature is not usable for me anymore (Metawidget's forms rendering will still work, of course). Just for the contrast, Spring Roo separated the user-generated content from auto-generated content by using Inter-type declarations. I can edit my entities the way I like and Roo can mess with its ITDs the way it likes" Just some food for thought? Richard. _______________________________________________ forge-dev mailing list forge-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/forge-dev

That's my guess as to what they are referring to. Good point though. ~Lincoln On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 1:02 AM, Jason Porter < lightguard.jp(a)gmail.com > wrote: I'm a little confused by this thinking. Forge will work with whatever you have there. Generated or not. It isn't going to overwrite anything you put in there, maybe they were using an old version?
