Can you post the startup log for one where it does scan your ejb jar? As I don't use IDEA and do use the packaging structure we recommend you follow (that generated by seam-gen) I can't really be of much help in isolating where your problem is occurring - you seem to have the right files in the right place... My best advice is to compare the packaging and config files from seam-gen or an example and try to isolate what you've got differently. We are working on improving Seam/JEE packaging, and if you do get this sorted it would be great if you could post back what you did.
