I agree, an upgrade guide from release to release would be useful. However I doubt you'll get an upgrade guide that describes how to upgrade apps based on examples. I think your approach of taking the new hibernate2 example as a base and then patching in your code/config is the way to go here. All that said, I wouldn't be surprised if any new update guide made references to seam-gen as it's a nice automated way to go. Later versions have a number of project types and deployment options. If your particular hibernate2 style project isn't yet able to be bootstrapped with seam-gen I'd submit an improvement JIRA for someone to take a look at supporting it in the future.
