EntityHome will save you days if not weeks and they also provide a great base for building an application that uses pages.xml for the wiring (which IMO is the best pattern for building a Seam app). I use them for a (small) production app - working well. A basic seam-gen app, with no reverse engineering shouldn't have too many files that are related to the actual app (ignore everything except classes, components.xml, pages.xml, .page.xml and .xhtml files).
