I just ran Seam Generate Entities Wizard for the workshop demo app. I noticed that it essentially executes the 'seam generate' command which is described as follows in the seamfp\seam-gen\readme.txt : generate | Generate CRUD pages and controllers for an existing database | schema. Combines the generate-model and generate-ui commands to | create the JPA entity classes and then the pages and controllers | that allow them to be managed. What if the developer doesn't need the UI components to be generated and only wants to exec 'seam generate-model'? There is no way to do that in the wizard AFAIK. For projects that are using their own custom DAO layer, for example, the generate and generate-ui tasks are not required and will not be used.
