[seam-dev] renaming source directories in a seam-gen project

[Dan Allen]

I would like to propose that we modify the name of the source
directories in a seam-gen project so they better reflect how they are
built rather than what classes they might contain. The current paths
are:

src/action
src/model

The src/action directory works as the hot deployable classpath when
running in development mode. In production mode, they both get dumped
into the same classpath. Here is the renaming I am proposing:

src/action -> src/hot
src/model -> src/main (or src/static)

I am *not* looking for a major change here. This is just a small task
that I feel would just cause less confusion. For instance, I often
recommend to clients to move classes that have "solidified" out of the
hot deployment directory so that they are not constantly reloaded
(hence wasting build time). But currently it feels unnatural to put an
action component under src/model.

I would like to know if these names are okay and if, perhaps, you have
a better choice for "src/main". I really don't expect objections to
"src/hot", but you have a chance to speak up.
