new-entity and generate-entities don't use same package name
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-2007
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2007
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Tools
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.CR1
            Reporter: Dan Allen
             Fix For: 2.0.0.GA
         Attachments: JBSEAM-2007-v1.txt

The *Home.java and *List.java classes that are produced by new-entity do not use the same package as the same classes produced by generate-entities.

Assuming the entity name is MyEntity, here is how the two actions play out.

new-entity:

src/action/com/company/action/MyEntityHome.java
src/action/com/company/action/MyEntityList.java

generate-entities:

src/action/com/company/model/MyEntityHome.java
src/action/com/company/model/MyEntityList.java

Notice that generate-entities uses "model" while the new-entity uses "action".

This behavior is due to a limitation in the hbmtemplate task which assumes that the Java files created will be in the same package as the model. However, it is possible to work around this problem. I have created such a patch. I believe that new-entity exhibits the correct behavior and puts the classes in the expected location.

The only limitation of doing this patch is that it is necessary to use a star import for the model classes since the hbmtemplate task assumes the current package is the package of the entity (hence even pojo.importType() wouldn't work). However, this shouldn't really be an issue since the IDE can cleanup the star imports. I would much rather have the consistency of the same package. Besides, *List.java and *Home.java are action components, not models.
