[seam-dev] Seam 2.1.0.GA testing on windows

>  - MC components can be part of Seam components

> MC part will not change a lot.
> Where AS part will grow with Seam's changes.
> e.g. introduction of hooks for resources lookup optimization

> I then during the JBossAS instance build, place the in the right places:

>  - AS part goes into newly created lib-opt directory

> Once you deploy your Seam app,

> and adds the Seam+AS part into deployment's classpath.
> Seam has a list of custom classes and if they are present they are loaded.
> e.g. VFS Scanner is checked, before you fallback to URLScanner

Explains it perfectly...but is this documented somewhere? This seems like
great information that I don't want to lose when I push this message out of
my inbox. If it's already documented, then perhaps an FAQ on swfk.org could
point to it.
