mkay...what are free-form property elements usable/used for ?

cool - let me know when it hit the cvs (i'm currently working intensively  
on trying
to create a usable seam project environment where this is an important  
factor ;)

btw. one thing that I think is important is that when you change jsp's,  
html's whatever
they should be synched instantly and jboss should detect them, but if you  
change code
then the autodeployment (which is done by auto-touch in jboss afaik)  
should only be done
when explicitly asked for it...e.g. a short cut/action of some sort.

well it could be an option...
