[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-2338) allow seam-gen to manage multiple projects

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2338?page=comments#action_12390335 ] Dan Allen commented on JBSEAM-2338: ----------------------------------- I see what you are saying. Part of the issue is that the generated project does not store the settings that were used by seam-gen in the project itself. I mean, the information is there, it's just scattered throughout the configuration files (as it was applied). To me, this is one of those cases where it is easy to add the flexibility to what exists, but long term perhaps there is a bigger design change to be addressed. I don't like to put small changes behind big ones, so my feeling is let's give the option to get out of this hole first, then we can decide how to get the settings out of the seam distribution directory. As I make this argument, my thought is shifting...it really does make sense to get the build.properties file out of the seam-gen directory. What sucks through is that you are going to have to enter the whole path to the existing project. Ah, but we could store "recently opened" projects and have a menu system to select them by number. All I have to say to that is *$@# Ant. That would be a PITA to implement. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
