[jbosside-dev] Re: New packaging / Seam integration

[Marshall Culpepper]

Fair enough, so if I understand correctly, Seam allows for a pretty 
flexible deployment similar to JBoss nested deployments?

 From the user's perspective, wouldn't it be better to call it a "Seam 
JAR" or some such rather than "seam-gen".. just to avoid confusion? The 
configuration only dictates a "default" packaging scenario anyway. Once 
the user is done setting up the JAR, they have full control of modifying 
it however they see fit.
