Stuart Robertson commented on JBSEAM-462:
-----------------------------------------

I've been working with seam-gen in HEAD tonight, which seems to be where the activity is.  My main question/issue is that it isn't clear how to go from new-wtp-project to a working, deployable set of projects.  The generated projects don't contain any of the .project, .classpath, etc. files for one thing.  I've tried a number of times to create new projects (web, ejb, ear) properly setup by wtp, then carefully copy the files over.  But each time deployment fails, generally with:

Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: comp not bound
	at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:529)

Confession: I'm a seam and ejb 3.0 newbie, and this is probably obvious.

But I guess my comment is that you're clearly putting a lot of effort into helping us newbies ramp up quickly, and I wonder if it might be worth including the required dot files to get seam-gen to the point where it's gen, import and run?

Also the code and xhtml templates ended up directly in the generated projects when I ran it, (there was, for instance a conversation.xhtml and conversation.xhtml.ftl in the resources dir).

Anway, my apologies if this is all user error.  I've tried reading the docs carefully, and I can get the example apps to deploy just fine.  I'm extremely eager to get up and running with Seam (pretty amazing - just read the "rough cut" book), and hope the feedback is useful.
