Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-4575:
------------------------------------

The moment you open the project archives view, select a project, and add a project archvie to it, it's builder and nature are added. I have seen no examples of this NOT happening ever.

> I'm currently experiecing some very strange.
> As I explained to Max on IRC couple days ago, I have that has a structure pretty much similar to what seam-gen generates (I've actually generated it through seam-gen and then modified some bits here and there) and I'm using Project Archives in order to have, mainly, fast redeploys of view artifacts (XHTMLs, CSS, JS, ...) and a better integration with IDE (publishing to the server inside eclipse, for example).
> Let's say the project is called "BugSample" in my workspace.
> Inside /BugSample/resources/META-INF there's an "application.xml" which is copied to /BugSample/build-artifacts/project-archives/BugSample.ear/META-INF. That's perfecly correct and as soon as I change /BugSample/resources/META-INF/application.xml, Project Archives "notices" that change and copy it to the correct directory and, as the application is published to the server and I have changed the application descriptor, the app is then redeployed. That is the proof that Project Archives is enabled and "should" be working.
> But my application is also composed by EJBs and some other POJOs and a view layer, so I must have, nested to the EAR, a JAR and a WAR. That's where the problem comes in.
> The JAR and the WAR were created "inside the EAR" (the attached image shows that). All my view stuff (XHTML, CSS,...) are inside /BugSample/view and are mapped in Project Archives to be copied to /BugSample/build-artifacts/project-archives/BugSample.ear/BugSample.war/. I guessed that whenever I change the content of any file inside /BugSample/view the WAR generated by Project Archives would be updated right way, the same way the application.xml affected the EAR archive. The same happens for the JAR.
> The project where this issue can be reproduced is attached, just extract it and import in Eclipse.
> If you need anymore info I'll be more than happy to provide.
