Couple of questions so far.
1. Can I use the standard src/main/webapp for the web assets?
The webbeans build uses WebContent which I guess is for JBDS.
But I think I can get JBDS to work with src/main/webapp just
fine. I'm also open to the folder named "view". I really
dislike the folder name WebContent.
I think we should go with the WTP standard here.
I really don't like this idea. I want to stick to the Maven standard
src/main/webapp or use view. WebContext is a stupid folder name and
I've always hated that WTP wouldn't change it to something less lame.
Besides, the location is completely configurable in WTP anyway, so it
doesn't really care what the folder is called. I've also seen Maven
plugins choke when the convention is not followed. So I'm going to
hack on src/main/webapp for a couple of days and just see how it pans out.
Just to
add my 2 cents to this.
I hate the name WebContent, EarContent, etc. too - you are not alone ;)
As Dan says it is configurable in WTP and as far as I know we don't have
any hardcoding of it left in JBDS ( there we in the old Exadel code).
But if you find some issue with it please speak up and will fix/respond
to it.
Do note that WTP expects *all* of the content to be in this folder
META-INF, resources, to a certain extent libs too. Just something to be
aware of ;)
