Good example on why Ganymede is only half-baked ...unfortunately it is more complete compared to Eclipse 3.3. Report it ASAP since things are moving very fast with Ganymede now. > 2) Seam > > Seam doesn't use WTP API to handle web.xml, but copy web.xml created by > seam-gen. > It isn't compatble with any facet that updates web.xml (Seam's web.xml > includes the JSF servlet and mapping, but overwrites the setting added > by the dynamic web and JSF facet ) > Yes, our current Seam facets needs to be redone. They were a "hack" to circumvene that there is no place in WTP (that I know of) that allows you to create a set of projects. We should fix this in JBoss Tools 3. The seam facets should become *real* facets and only do what it needed for each individual project/module type (and uses incremental changes as much as possible instead of full overwrites) and to create the "full triage" project we should introduce a focused Seam Project Wizard that creates the projects in the proper sequence.
