[seam-dev] laying the tracks for Seam 3

[Dan Allen]

Now for my next question. How do we test the examples? Are we to port/use
SeamTest or something you have cooked up in Web Beans? I have no problem
studying, I just don't want to waste time so perhaps you can just point me
in the right direction.
