Hi Adrian,

You can use Forge on any Maven project (even projects generated using Archetypes.) We would like to be able to run archetypes from within forge as well, but currently don't have that feature yet. For now you can generate an archetype using Maven, then use Forge on the result - that will work fine :)

If you are interested in getting the archetype generation working in Forge, we have a feature request you could pick up!

I hope this makes sense,

Hello,

Is it coherent to use maven archetypes for project creation AND Seam Forge for code generation only ?
Or is it a rather complicated or *no future* solution ?

The point is :
 * there are a lot of maven archetypes all around internet.
 * we also have some archetypes in our company and there's no value migrating those ones to forge.
 * m2e for eclipse is becoming widespread, people are (becoming?) used to use New Project > Maven Projet > Use Archetype...

My sentiment is that this approach can be viable if forge code generation plugin (scaffold, richfaces, etc...) are 'universal' plugins (by universal I mean : can be applied to any project - generared by Forge or no) - but I'm really a forge newbie.

Thanks !
