please put WEB-INF under view instead of resources (seam-gen)
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-2051
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2051
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Tools
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.CR1
            Reporter: Dan Allen
         Assigned To: Dan Allen
             Fix For: 2.0.x


I am aware that there is no hotter issue than this one. But PAUSE before rejecting it and hear me out.

The current seam-gen project structure is

src
  action
  model
resources
  WEB-INF
  META-INF
view

IDEs choke on this structure, but it really comes down to just one folder. The src/ and resources/ directory really aren't a problem. The real problem is that WEB-INF/ just needs to be under view/. Seriously, if that can happen, the IDEs really will be happier. People are not arguing for the sake of arguing. This convention is the way that Sun laid out more than a decade ago and vendors have catered to it ever since (even JBoss). It's not like we woke up one day and said, gee, let's put WEB-INF/ in the folder with web artifacts. Rather than try to change the whole world, can we just move this one folder? I promise I am not arguing to read my own writing. 

Proposed structure

src
  action
  model
resources
  META-INF
view
   WEB-INF
